I’ve always avoided yoga. I think it has something to do with my contrary nature. I never saw “Titanic,” I’ve never watched “American Idol,” and I never read The Nanny Diaries<\/span>. Why? Simply because everybody else was doing it. Now, this hasn’t stopped me from getting contacts, watching other reality talent shows<\/a>, or doing a whole host of other popular things. But I never claimed to be consistent.<\/p>\n

Anyway, yoga has been one of those “popular” thing that I’ve avoided. It seemed more like something a contortionist or a soccar mom would do than something I would do. Pilates, fine. Ballet, fine. But somehow yoga – not so much.<\/p>\n

Well, a bunch of people in a couple of departments at work have arranged to have the local yoga studio host a class for us over the lunch hour every Wednesday.

Yesterday was my first class, and I gotta say, it was pretty nice. Today I’m feeling muscles that I haven’t felt in years. I had no idea that an hour of yoga could work so many different muscles so completely without once forcing them to “feel the burn” during the workout.<\/p>\n

I’m sold. Maybe this means that “Titanic” and The Nanny Diaries <\/span>were pretty good too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
