I have missed Yoga. I realized that today when I finally got to a class. I've tried to stay away because my Yoga studio teaches a fairly aggressive form of Yoga that is hard on the wrists, elbows, joints in general. I thought this was supposed to be good for you!
The funny thing I've found is that a lot of people have Yoga injuries. Even those who practice more easy going forms of yoga.
So what's up with that?
Here's another interesting thing about Yoga. You get there. It's a de-stressing environment. Yet as soon as you leave the studio, the stress of just crossing the street erases the magic "om" feeling of zen you had for maybe 10-minutes.
Last note on this subject. My studio has a "celebrity" type co-owner. He came on board after hooking up with one of the owners and now is the hot teacher. He's so hot that he is now teaching one class that you need his "permission in advance" to take. That does not strike me as the way of the Yogi. It strikes me as the way of the egoist.
Did I mention that when I emailed him this summer asking for a little help with my injury he never got back to me?
Is it because I'm not a size 4 like everyone else? Do you have to be a "beautiful" person to succeed in Yoga?
