in order to gain new experiences, test my limits and break up life's general monotony, i've decided to do one new thing per day.

the yoga eventuality
There are several eventualities for me. I think that I know myself well enough to know that there are certain things I will definitely end up doing in my life time. As I've mentioned before, vegetarianism was one of them. Getting a tattoo is another one. I know it's just a matter of time and circumstance. Yoga has also been one of my eventualities. I was inevitably going to start doing yoga regularly. Today I started that eventuality.
I went to my first yoga class today, starting my instruction at Yogashala off of Division. After Chi-Kung, I felt that I was beyond prepared for beginners yoga. However, I do like starting at the beginning so that I feel I'm not missing anything. It was nice and relaxing. There were only two other students there so I received a lot of attention from the teacher, which was good this time. I did the mountain stance, the horse pose, the rock pose, the locust and a couple of others.
It wasn't all spiritual like I thought it would be. I have no problem with mediation but I don't like to pay homage to deities. There wasn't a lot of pressure to do that. It was all just very nice and chill and I thought I performed rather nicely. I'm looking forward to going again!
