After surviving a day at work, I really needed a way to catch my breath and relax. I tried the go home, turn on the TV, get in front of TV, microwave some nachos and watch and eat until I fall asleep routine, but honestly that’s not cutting it for me anymore. It makes me even more miserable the next day.
Then one day my mom called me, all bright and cheery from her daily morning yoga routine. Her positive attitude really made me even more depressed. She kept telling me about how I need to try yoga and that yoga has changed her life. I stopped listening and put the phone down while I munched on some potato chips. Then I realized what have I got to lose? So I got my lazy butt to one of the most highly rated yoga workshops in the city after work one day.
The class started off with some beautiful leggy girls in leotards and spandex doing breathing exercises. I couldn’t concentrate. I felt so out of place. Then our instructor, a mid-thirties health food junkie, who actually resembled Madonna, wanted to do some advanced yoga and Pilates. We started off in a lotus position and worked our way to a downward dog. Oh my goodness. I guess from sitting in an office all day, my muscles were not ready for that kind of workout. I came home aching, shaking and positively hurting from my first day of yoga. My instructor told me I should not have over exerted myself and gone to an advanced class. Oops!
I came home and made a fruit smoothie and took some of my RECOVSPORT powder and mixed it in. But one thing is for sure, yoga really did help me relax and clear my mind from work. Maybe I’ll try it again next week, but I’m bringing my supply of RECOVSPORT with me.
