Yoga

Got up early this morning and went to a "Wake up with yoga" class. Got to the school just after 7 am for an hour of yoga, but even though the point is to wake you up, it just doesn't work on me. I'm just not a morning person. For the third week in a row, I went home after yoga and took a 2 hour nap. I think it's the deep relaxation at the end. I fell asleep during it this time. But, I did learn how to do the Sun Salutation sequence forwards and backwards, as well as a few others. She tried to teach us one called the bull or something like that. Basically, it makes you look like a frog and it's a more advanced pose she said, but she thought we could do it. Ya right. I tried a few times and fell over like an idiot. It involves planting your hands on the mat, leaning your knees and all your weight onto your triceps and then pushing your feet off the floor so your bum is sort of in the air. The instructor made it look easy but I couldn't help laughing as I tried to do the move. Not very yoga of me.

Oh well. We also exercised our eyeballs, which I didn't even realize was possible. Kind of made my head hurt actually. My favorite pose is the child's pose, where you just get to lean forward on your folded legs with your chest on your knees and close your eyes. The best way to relax.

Well, I'm supposed to be writing my psych paper on Adolescent Volunteerism, but I'm procrastinating. Anyone got any bright ideas?
