*Taken from: http://farm4.static.flickr.com*I have a confession to make...yoga is not my cup of tea. When I was a lot heavier, you could not pay me to believe that yoga was thick girl sensitive. I mean I've never seen a "THICK CHICK" rock a yoga routine. I don't know what it is, something about peace and calmness that I don't get from "downward dog" (yoga position). For my workout, Yoga X is about 1.5 hrs long...there isn't that much stretch in a bag of rubber bands.
I mean, I get it! Strength, power, focus, flexibility, blah blah blah.... However, I find it BORING, tense, agitating, and disquieting, yeah yeah yeah. I have exercise ADHD, I like to move, feel the beat, and laugh heartily at myself. I'm sure most yoga instructors would say, "you think too much," and I'd apologize for not allowing my head to be filled with air for 5,460 seconds.
SOOOO here's my new idea to get over this hump...GOSPEL MUSIC!!! When I hear gospel music I focus on the words, listen intently, and get in touch with myself. Maybe this will help me get through this grueling routine. I know, I'm such a Dhahl!! Til next time~
