Yoga class - day 3 and I still hate it (I'm happy it's only once a week). My flexibility, strength, and balance are all terrible, which is the reason that I hate it. But I feel like these are all things that will benefit me as I age, so as my arms were quivering while holding a pose for what seemed like five minutes, I was trying to figure out a reasonable deadline for  quitting. I kept waffling between the end of the summer and three months, which would be the end of September. Because I'm thinking that if I still hate it by that time, then I need to move on to another program.

But here's the funny part: As all these thoughts are racing through my head (actually, all thoughts race through my head, which is another reason I need yoga), the teacher says in her slow, quiet, peaceful voice, "Let all thoughts that aren't yoga thoughts leave your mind." What??? I don't have any yoga thoughts! And just what are yoga thoughts? This could be a huge part of my problem and perhaps there's no remedy for it, but I'm not throwing in the towel yet. I believe I'll give it three months.
