First yoga post of 2010

Yay, finally made it to a yoga class this year, after stopping for about 40 days ;p

And it was one of my favourite teacher's class - Azmi's Flow2. So glad that he brought back Flow 2, and the best part is the timing - Saturday morning! And the class is not crowded like the ex-yoga studio with 30-40 sweaty people haha... there was a nice crowd of 7, it was as great as ever.

There was a bit of pain, but I felt great being forced to go into poses that I usually feel too tired (lazy) to attempt at home. I really should do this more often. Thinking of getting the weekend only unlimited membership. Going for yoga once or twice a week is better than no yoga at all! Yup this is still my 2010 resolution, apart from taking up pole dancing too haha...

I just love Azmi's class because he's so good with his sequence, adjustments, and calming voice. I just can't stand teachers - especially ladies (sorry!) - with screechy voice and non-stop talking for the entire 60 minutes. I prefer to "feel" the poses and the pain and connect them to my breath and soul, without being too distracted by the instructor. Yes I promise to be back! :)

On another note, went for the torturous deep tissue massage again as my bunion has been very painful and swollen for weeks now. Biggest regret in my life. It was EXCRUCIATING. I am so going to quit going!! Please get better... He told me I sit long hours and thus there's a lot of congestion in my spine (causing the knots), and the effects are often reflected in the legs/feet. And I need to stay away from cold drinks, sour and spicy stuff. Sigh... age is really catching up I guess... I can no longer enjoy all the food I like! So people - enjoy it while you can, but eat in moderation. You wouldn't want to go through what I have to go through... ;p
