Amy,<\/p>\n
It was my first yoga class in a while and it felt weird.\u00a0 I mean, what’s the perception of someone who hasn\u2019t been to a yoga class in a while?\u00a0 As I looked at all the bodies flat on the ground, all I could think of was John Belushi, I mean Bluto, in Animal House:\u00a0 \u201cHey! What’s this lyin’ around sh*t?\u201d\u00a0 The people were barely clothed but this wasn\u2019t a toga party.\u00a0 What were we doing?\u00a0 Why were they, and I, doing this so early on a Saturday morning?\u00a0 It\u2019s not gonna help my GPA.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think I can put it on my resume.<\/p>\n
My warrior wasn\u2019t solid and I was surely susceptible to enemy attacks.\u00a0 The heels of my downward dog weren\u2019t touching the ground but I didn\u2019t feel high.\u00a0 I was quivering in vasisthasana as my brain made a futile attempt at translating sanskrit.<\/p>\n
In a strange way I felt exhilarated as we flowed through the poses.\u00a0 I felt out of my mind and surely looked crazy so maybe I should wear a toga to the next class.\u00a0 I can visualize it now:\u00a0 A little bit louder now.\u00a0 Shout!\u00a0 Shout!\u00a0 Yeah!\u00a0 Yeah!\u00a0 Yeah!\u00a0 Yeah!<\/p>\n
