Day 119: Hatha Fusion

This was a more advanced class. I really enjoyed it. The class moved slowly to really let us get in and out of the poses with strength. One thing I need to work on is not letting smells bother me in class. The student next to me was a guy who smelled like he just drank a pitcher of beer…not a good smell when you are seeking balance and inner peace. I’m from Portland, so of course I love beer, I just don’t want to smell it in yoga practice. Towards the end of class, he let out a big fart and then tried to move to the front of his mat to escape it. I moved to the front of my mat…to escape it also! In wind removing type poses it is natural that some people let out little farts. I think this guys was so big because of the beer. Beer makes you fart, so don’t drink a bunch right before class. It also impairs judgement, so one would be risking injury to do an advanced class right after imbibing. Friends don’t let friends drink and do yoga!

Day 56: Yoga and Body Rolling

This was a great class! Someone recommended it to me so I decided to give it a try. After all, I have 365 classes to do this year, so I have nothing to lose if I don’t like it! Â It was really fun. The instructor handed everybody three different size balls. Then she had us place certain ones in different places on our body and we rolled on it. You could really feel the ball massaging your muscles. The instructor had us roll on one small ball, under our bellies to get into the “toxic pit” as she called it. Â By getting movement and circulation in that area, your body is able to get rid of the toxins easier. Â I felt so relaxed and good when I was done with class. I think I will go back.
