3. Try yoga

Thanks to Groupon, I tried some yoga at Spring Wellness Studio. The very first yoga I did was hot yoga, which is not as hot as bikram, apparently. I am going to misspell all over the place on this one.

I got five yoga classes at Spring Wellness, and I believe I have one more to use, but I loved hot yoga. It feels cleansing. After an hour and a half in a ninety degree room balancing on one leg, I felt as though I truly deserved any brunch I may eat immediately afterwards because I am a young urban professional.

I also did several yoga classes when I had a free month at David Barton gym. I took two different classes, a regular class and Yoga for Jocks. Yoga was recommended to me again when I worked with a trainer -- she told me I wasn't very flexible or coordinated and yoga would help. Unfortunately, when I went to the regular class, the instructor reiterated that I am not very flexible or coordinated. Later, she chastised me when I was hesitant to flip over into a shoulder stand. Call me crazy. Oh, I can use the wall to help? Still not going to happen. I guess we forgot ten minutes ago earlier in the class when I was not flexible or coordinated.

I haven't done yoga since, although I am at Bally's now, and they offer several classes throughout the week to members. I like yoga, and would like to keep doing it, especially because I am so tight with the running. However, I just don't go, and there is a specific reason why: I have to bring my own mat to Bally's. And I don't feel like buying one. Yes, Amy has one, but I don't want to use hers. I would also probably need a cute yoga mat carrier. I can't invest in all that stuff. I have food stuffs to buy.
