I awoke before the alarm went off and both kids got up with me and my husband. Auspicious. I was planning to get to my yoga class on time and I needed to get the Bobinator (my son) to school early (no small task). Kids dressed. I dressed in yoga stretchies. Yoga mat: check. Water in stinky metal bottle: check. Everyone ready? Let’s go! Got son to school early and surprised his teacher. Had time to chat with a friend in the parking lot and dashed to the studio. The room looked dark and I saw one woman stretching inside. The lot was full of cars. Was I late or really early? Got to the door and noticed no one was at the desk. Checked the schedule on the door and . . . fail. No 9:00 class this morning.
Well, at least I know I can get there on time if the kids cooperate this well.
Lesson for today: look at schedule the night before! I just programmed all of the hot yoga classes that work in my schedule on my phone calendar, with an alert one hour ahead. My next chance to do yoga will be on Friday at 9:00, but this is iffy. Saturday is looking more promising. The good news is, next week I think I can get in 3 classes. And since I won’t be doing yoga for a few days, my next blogs will be about the practice of hot yoga. Commence research now!
All over this research. Right now I am researching proper clothing and accessories. Trying not to turn this into a commercial venture, but most of my workout clothes are not made for twisty turny action or extreme heat.
No need to spend big bucks, Erin. I just have tees and sweat pants. Nothing fancy. It’s not a fashion show. No shoes required,so that’s a savings. Don’t buy a mat until you know for sure you want to do this! All studios have mats and they wash them, so don’t be skeeved by the communal nature of this gesture. Just bring a towel and water and you’re good to go. (And as a side note, I noticed Tuesday Morning sells yoga mats and I bet they’re cheaper than the one I got at Target.)
I think I am going to do this.
