YoGA flame!!

yes its been more then a week since i updated my blog and its abt time i wrote something... today was my very first lesson in yoga.... it was held in a old folks home and i went tehre with a friend... i was late for the class but never the less the guru allowed me to participate in the class...my friend had to get change and i started doing the warm up for the class.... it was abit akward as i didnt know any of the postures.. the instructor was kind enough to guide us throug every step of the way... and i learnt quite a few back breaking postures... hahaha ...

i have never felt so much muscles cramps in my life(legs, lower and upper back, arms and neck)....i was doing particular stance called the camel pose whereby i had hold my legs and look back ward, my lower back got all cramped up doing that pose...hahahah... while the guru was counting down the seconds, i had to hold the posture till he finished the count.. i was in agony(in a good way) and thinking to myself : "Quickly Quickly count !! i am gonna fall anytime soon"...

My friend had no problems with yoga and it came naturally to her... all the members were mighty impress by her flexibility and were singing praises of her after class... she was abit shy about it....

after class we went to had a drink and i felt that my posture has improved dramatically.. it was an eye opening experience andi hope i can get back to class next saturday...
