Feeding the Need

Last night was the first guided class I've taken in 41 days. You might ask, "Who is counting?" I sure was! I was in the studio at least 3 days a week before the move, and I was dying to get back into a normal practice. I still haven't made the time to check out local studios where I live. But I finally got my ass back in the gym (actually my boyfriend did, I'm sure he was tired of hearing me complain about feeling sluggish). Since there's so many locations around us, I can find one near home or in whatever area I'm working in that day. 

The upside is they offer all kinds of classes, including yoga! The downside is that there aren't very many available for me to take. And the ones that are are during my work hours, so I may only be able to get to one a week. For now, I'll take it! I went to one Wednesday night and it was awesome! It was a little different than I was used to. Funny how you get used to things being a certain way. The room wasn't heated and the instructor taught a little differently than I've been conditioned. I also missed the "bliss bombs" I got in my last studio. She kept it mainly about the movement and breath. I really enjoyed that emotional/mental connection from my old instructors. But it was a great class. There were only about ten of us in class, so we had a lot room. It was centered around beginners, but had some challenging asanas, too.

Being bummed about there not being many classes available made me realize that I should really consider teaching. I went through all of that training and getting myself insured, I shouldn't waste it! Maybe I can even get a spot once in a while at the gym! I kinda wanted to talk to the teacher, pick her brain for a bit. But decided not to. Maybe next week. :)
