My first yoga class

Today at 4:30 I'm going to take the plunge and try yoga. I have always wanted to do this, but each time I come up with an excuse.

My favorites are:
I'm too busy
I'm too tired
It's too expensive
I'm too out of shape
I don't have a mat
and the best of all,
I don't have any cool yoga clothes

So today at lunch I went over to the local organic grocery to get lunch because I forgot to bring mine and as I was leaving the parking lot I drove past a Dahn Yoga center. I went in and got a bunch of brochures. The people were really nice and not too yoga-y (ie - they looked like they might actually eat cheeseburgers every once in a while). I came back to work and did a little research on Dahn Yoga. What? You wonder why I'm not doing work at work? Pshaw. You obviously don't know the meaning of work. It is free internet access and a T-1 line.

So anyway, I decided that Dahn Yoga isn't for me. Too much emphasis on releiving stress and breathing and learning about your inner self. I need a yoga that is going to get me in shape, not make me a better person. So I signed up at a regular yoga place near my house and even gave my name and phone number so if I chicken out at the last minute they can call and make me feel guilty. I did not, of course, tell the woman on the other end of the phone this. That would be more information about me than she needed to know. Especially since she's the class teacher and will probably have to peel me up off the floor at 5:30 when the class is over.

So, wish me luck.
