Soon I will be a pretzel...

I attended my first yoga class yesterday. I've tried to stay active through all the transitions that have happened in the past year and have done a pretty good job of it. Lately, though, its been mostly running and not much else. When i found out there is a free yoga class tuesdays and thursdays during lunch at school I figured, heck, its as good a time as any to try it out. The flexibility could only help me. What i hadn't planned on was the class challenging my strength, which it definitely did. Trying hard to hold a plank pose with my arms shaking i came to the realization that I had not lifted weights or participated in any kind of resistance training in a while and my arms are not as strong as they used to be. Maybe not a good thing. I felt it further when I rolled out of bed this morning and realized my entire upper back was tender. I swear, sneezing today almost threw out my entire back. But I'm excited about the class because its something new and different and challenging I can add to my fitness regimen. Just another interesting life transition.
