It has been so long for so many things. So long since I last wrote, so long since I last had a date, so long since I had a job I loved. I have been in and out of the bogs of despair (picture Sarah Bernhardt hand to forehead here). Every day is a chance to thrive to hide so today I am thriving and thought I would post a few things that have been on my mind.
First off, whatever awesome fabric Prana uses in their yoga clothes, I don't care if it is made out of nuclear waste, it is AWESOME! I took 4 classes last week, 2 with the new clothes and felt SO much cooler! I have always kinda doubted the whole wicking thing since the hiking socks I bought for wicking did nothing but make my feet wetter and colder but I have to say now I BELIEVE! I bought two pairs of shorts, well one knickers and one shorts, and two tops. The one pair of short shorts are too tight even thought they are Large but I will hang onto them since I cut all the tags off before washing and trying on. (and heard my mother's voice in my ear saying, you know better than that) but I was so excited to have new stuff! Anyway, beyond all that, the tops were great. After a couple weeks of 4 classes a week I could probably even do Mediums in the knickers and tops! I still sweat like a hog but feel so much cooler in class, it is extraordinary. The difference between my old clothes and the new is amazing. If I had a better job I would throw out all the old stuff!
There is a new teacher in town from Austin, Jackie, who is great! While I love the regular teachers in St. Paul, Sarah, Leona, Tom, Heidi, Hunter,and Kate, it is always fun to hear someone else. And someone my age who isn't embarrassed to wear a sport bra and shorts really encourages me!
I am also thrilled at the influx of younger people coming to the studio! I hope they get as addicted as me! I feel like I can conquer the world some days and I don't remember feeling anything like that when I was younger.
So, please if you happen on this blog, write to me and encourage me unless you hate it in which case, um, don't.....
Thank you and Namaste,
Renee
