So, this week I went to yoga class Monday and Wednesday. Let me tell you. It is hard. I am not that flexible and terrible about stretching after a run, so I thought this would be a good idea. I wish I had thought of it while training last fall for the marathon. Then again, I was running so much that any free time I had I didn't want to be exercising in any way, shape or form.
I like it. But it is difficult. And I do not have a lot of upper body strength, so that has been a challenge as well. But one thing I do not have is the gear. You might not think that the gear matters but it does. Not in a trying to fit in kind of way but a utilitarian kind of way. I have been wearing running shorts. And these are not the greatest for flipping yourself in weird positions. You need pants. Covering up everything and making you less self conscious about trying new things. At least a girl can get away with shorts, guys cannot and some of the guys I have seen there try to wear them. Gross.
So, I've been on the hunt. I just bought some from lulu lemon. Melinda and Megan, Canadians, rave about them. But they are pricey. I saw some on Lands' End for half the price so I got a pair of them too. We'll see how they work out when I get them.
try sundance catalog. yeah, the robert redford one. they have great yoga pants that are on clearance.
