I love my yoga class...usually. It's a great way to start the day. The stretches feel wonderful. Most of the core strengthening is empowering. And at my age, working on that flexibility is a must. But sometimes it's just a joke.
YOGA INSTRUCTOR: Such a soothing voice... the music provides a quiet, rhythmic background...
"Cross your left leg behind your right leg... Slowly lower yourself to the ground with your left leg tucked under your body, bending your right leg... Inhale slowly ...as you wrap your left arm around your right leg and hug it to your body... Right hand on your back hip... Slowly twist to the right. Exhale gently... Extend right arm behind you, palm up. ...."
Me: You had me at "hug it to your body".
YOGA INSTRUCTOR: Always spoken in such gentle, encouraging and hopeful tones...
"Sit in an upright position, extending both legs out in front of you... Arms raised, extend your body forward. Exhale... Left hand touches your toes, as you reach your right hand under across your body under your left, hand up. Pivot your body to the left...."
HUH???
Note to self: Never play twister with a Yoga Instructor!
