So after several years of intention, I finally actually signed up for a month of yoga at CorePower Yoga with encouragement from a friend (at a highly discounted price) and determined to go to as many classes as I could before either embracing it or dying. Weighing in at 260 lbs at 5'8" I felt pretty challenged by even the most basic class. To their credit, all the teachers at CorePower held fast to the yogic ideal that "you are exactly where you are supposed to be" (sometimes I felt like they were only saying this because I was in the class though). And it has been a very welcoming atmosphere. Even other students have been open hearted and encouraging during after class dressing room chatter.End result, after my month long Yogapalooza which ended yesterday with a 90 minute Hot Yoga Class which at the time I described as "being trapped in a jungle with a sadistic circus trainer"- I have met some great teachers and students, am feeling great- just a little tired/dreamy, am almost down to 230 lbs (water weight), and am going to keep on going (especially after I found out my first paid month is also discounted and I get a corporate discount going forward).
At this rate in 230 days I should weight nothing....
