3 weeks ago I started taking a regular yoga class at 7am on a friday morning. Anyone that knows me knows I do NOT do early mornings but as this is the only class I can make I gave in and committed to it. The first week nearly killed me getting up at 6am, I only see that time if I’m going on holiday. I felt a little rough if Im completely honest but once I had a cup of tea I could put words together and speak to people! I was truly hopeless at the poses and really struggled especially as the others were super flexible but I have to say after the class I felt amazing! Going back the second week was easier to get out of bed for as I remembered how great I felt after the first class even though I still had the early morning moodiness until i had a brew. I still found all the poses really hard, that triangle pose is murder! But I’ve got to say having an inflexible friend (he couldn’t make the first week) this week made me feel slightly better! Come on admit it, we all like it when someone is as bad as us at doing something! Anyway week 3 I had a breakthrough, look what I can do now.

Thats right I can touch my toes!!!!!! Not only that I can get my hands flat on the floor I haven’t been able to do this since my gymnastics days back in 2000! Needless to say I’m pretty pleased with myself! Next stop the splits – I’ll keep you posted.

Oh and if you want to be as flexible as you were when you were 18 years old checkout the timetable at our studio for classes.
