Go to a Yoga Class

Well, its been a long time. Its going to be amazing if i finish this list in time. But i'm holding on to it being possible...just got to get creative!

i've been afriad of yoga class. Seriously. for the last couple of weeks i would go to the class at 9:01, and see all the people in their chairs or mats and i would totally freak out and run in the other direction. Literally. My staff was starting to think i was insane. What about a yoga class could be so scary.

Today i mentioned it to my friend and co-worker and she laughed at first and then hit it on the head. Its really intimate. Its strangers in a dark room moving very slowly and breathing. Sometimes there is farting, there is normally no talking, and its super introspective. I'm not really good at most of thoes things (farting included...i don't do it very often and get so embarrased when i do!)

So, this teen who has been in the teen center the last few weeks told me to get over it and he'll come with me! He sat on the other side of the room so he didn't even feel like he was there (which was sorta nice) then i did all the moves, got a cramp in my bum and foot and leg, then totally FELL ASLEEP ON THE MAT! IT WAS WONDERFUL! i was so relaxed out i could of slept forever. It took me a long time to really concentrate on my breathing but once i got into it, i was really relaxed. now it seems silly that i was so afraid. Now i just need to prepare myself for hot yoga...oh gosh...i'm gonna sweat so much i'm gonna be disgusting...wait....i'm freaking myself out already...
