It worked! Not that I am able to bend my body in any sort of spectacular position but I made every effort to stop worrying about being an expert. I think when I am unable to do things like yoga it reminds me of how I've been completely ignoring my body (I have never been the most flexible person but I did take ballet for 13 years so I never felt like I was in the beginning stages of rigor mortis). But with your encouragment I am able to remind myself that like with any type of physical activity it gets better every time you do it!<br /><br />THANKS!!!!!<br />StarrStarrStarrStarrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13282422220935509232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7036150185123106347.post-3503230294476883722010-02-02T10:00:53.041+00:002010-02-02T10:00:53.041+00:00EEk.

My fault really not hers..... I'am a very quiet , shy easily embarressed person so to take a yoga class at all was a BIG deal to me. A fear i had to overcome. Well at my last class i guess i was holding my hands the wrong way and she was trying to correct me from across the room. Well........I was relaxed, listening to the music , concentrating on what i was doing and i didn't hear her for several minutes! She obviously kept getting louder till when i looked up everyone in the room was staring at me. I wish i could have melted into the floor at that moment. Well i never went back. And ofcourse i'm only hurting myself, maybe one day i will try again with a different instructor.jinxxxygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12349344319328467284noreply@blogger.com
