yoga stories

Tried bikram yoga not so long ago with a few of my officemates.
Wow. Don’t know how to describe the feeling.
Not really sure what we were getting into… we all went to the yoga place to try it out.
Yup, as warned, it was really hot. We felt nauseous in between poses. Our eyes glancing across the room to check on the poses of our “yogamates” inside the room. We weren’t quite sure if were doing everything correctly… we were’nt even quite sure what we were doing there at all!

As soon as the class ended, we hurriedly dressed and left the studio to get some quick dinner ( we were starving.. later we found out that it was normal for first timers and will eventually get used to the hunger) and exchange thoughts while at yoga.

The next day, I was expecting pain because of the stretches that we did during yoga class. Surprisingly, I only felt a slight tension/sore in my upper body and not the “pain” that I was expecting. As soon I arrived at the office I immediately went up to my friends to ask if they felt any sore at all. Again it wasn’t the pain that we were expecting… slightly….


For each yoga session that I take I can now feel the intensity of each stretch. I can now feel a slight tug in my muscle… upper or sometimes lower part. I was told by the instructor that I have to be “mindful” of my posture. Now I can say that I am getting serious as I focus hard on each posture. I guess when you start you are just trying to get the feel of things but as once progresses, we seriously consider each step to ensure we get things correctly.

Okay enough of this crap… whoever’s reading this, I highly recommend that you should try to do yoga. Its good for the body and for the soul.
