So on Saturday I tried out Yoga for the first time. It was pretty intense. Let me tell you about it.

My cousin had asked me about hot Yoga while at work one day and I looked it up. I found on Google.Com about a Yoga studio called FireandIce Yoga that is about walking distance from my apartments. I checked out the website and I saw that there were some Intro classes that was free to come see how it was. I was totally captivated mostly that it was right by my apartments, and also by the fact that it might be something that I would really be intersted in because it’s not a gym and I wouldn’t be really working out. perse.

So I emailed the owner about it and we set up a schedule for my cousin, husband, friend and I to go in and try it out. But first we had to go get our checks, but thats a different post. Anyways, we went to the studio and let me tell you, it’s really nice and spacious in there. The owner, Amanda, was really nice and pretty. She also had some really cute Ed Hardy sweatpants on which fit her frame so well! I was so jealous, lol. Well, we got our mats and we introduced ourselves to her and we started doing some simple stretches. I’m feeling pretty good, it’s relaxing and i’m fine. But after a couple of easy stretched we start doing some Warrior series where we were making triangles and laying on our shoulders and looking at the ceiling and whatnot. Then I was like, DAYUM! This shit is kinda hard! My legs have never gone this far past my ears and stuff. It was crazy. I definitely broke a sweat while doing the poses and they kind of felt uncomfortable but she said it will for a while until you get used to it. Plus, i’ve never done anything like what we did in there before so i’m SURE that it would hurt.

What I really liked about the class was the fact that we weren’t really working out and let me tell you, I can never get the motivation to work out. But this class, I felt so good about. We didn’t really do much of working out, yet I felt like my muscles were working out. Just breathing and posing felt so tiring and I really did feel like I was excercising. She also told me that I was the most flexible guy she’s ever seen which kind of made me feel really good about myself. Lol.

After the class I felt amazing. So relaxed yet energized to do things. Also this weekend I was definitely feeling something. I felt muscles that I have never felt before start to ache and i’m thinking, wow. This feels really good for my body.

I definitely recommend going there. Amanda is a great teacher, super nice and welcoming. It feels great for the body. She has a flexible schedule, even for those who wanna work out during lunch! It’s great.
