My First Yoga Session

Published by figur8 at 3:46 pm under Pregnancy, exercise, yoga

On Monday 16 October, I attended my first Yoga class at Fitfor2. They say that pregnancy exercise classes are suppose to be easy. Well, this Yoga class was still as difficult as I remembered Yoga to be the first and only time I ever tried it in a gym in Melbourne, Australia. The reason why I only ever did Yoga once in Australia was because I found it too difficult for my liking. Pilates is a breeze in comparison to Yoga.

Yoga calls for some serious balancing acts and I’ve already mentioned before that balance is something I really struggle with. It takes so much of my concentration to get the positions right that I don’t even remember if I was breathing properly.

My palms were sweating so much that I couldn’t get into the proper “down dog” position. I made a mental note to bring a towel the next time around. It just never occurred to me that I would sweat so much from just performing a series of stretching exercises! Good thing I never tried out the Yoga Zone class without air-conditioning - here I was already sweating in an air-conditioned environment…

I’m seriously wondering whether I should venture back into this class again…
