Today I went to the first of my 5 class yoga workshop at Charm City Yoga (Towson location)It was a little more that I expected. I had a wonderful time and I can't wait to go again next week. The class was packed,almost spewing out of the door. The decor was very contemporary and homely. I didn't speak to any of my classmates but My teacher,Melissa,was such a sweetheart.The class seemed to range form 20somethings on up and I felt like I was the youngest one there,although it didn't really bother me. She began the class with a brief overview of the the Yamas.The Yamas are the first principles of the Eight limbs of yoga. She wanted us to dedicate ourselves to one principle during this session. I chose Satya which is truthfulness. . .I often cloud,my own judgment with what I want to see. So this session I wanted to explore truthfulness in the execution of the poses that she taught us.I committed my self truly to the poses. I pushed myself,not exerting or "half-assing" the practice,like i usually do with my work outs. Satya can also be applied to my everyday happening now that I think about it. I'm often over rationalizing situations causing them to be something different then they appear,or simply not thinking about them at all.I guess me even coming to terms with that is applying Satya(lol). All in all,it was a wonderful experience,like I said I can't wait to go back next week. Hopefully I get a good spot because I don't want to be one of those out-the-door spewing people.
~Happy Tuesday : )
