I did my best to keep up with everyone, but I was ready to go home after 15 or 20 minutes
My girlfriend started doing yoga when she was in college. She had a sports injury and the physical therapist suggested that yoga could help with her flexibility and rehabilitation exercises. She attended a yoga class 3 days each week. When we met, she was in excellent physical shape. I was in video games shape. She never pushed me to change in the beginning. She was happy with me, and I was happy with me. When we started spending a lot of time together, she eventually talked me into joining her at a yoga class. I didn’t think it would be too bad, since yoga is just stretching and moving. I didn’t know there are different forms of yoga. My girlfriend practices Bikram yoga, which is a lot more challenging than traditional yoga. First of all, the room was terrible warm and very humid. When I complained about the lack of cool air, my girlfriend laughed and told me that was part of Bikram yoga. I was also unaware that the beginner class would be almost 2 hours long. We performed over 20 different postures including half tortoise pose, full Locust pose, and toe stand pose. I couldn’t do half of the stretches, and I probably looked like a fool. I did my best to keep up with everyone, but I was ready to go home after 15 or 20 minutes. When the yoga class was finished, I told my girlfriend that one class was enough for me. I was ready for a nap and a glass of wine. I knew I needed more exercise, but yoga wasn’t the activity for me.
