Yoga-mania

I missed practicing yoga, actually so I managed to persuade Xiuyi to join the class @ SSC. The class was full of "experts". dun be deceived by their age (mostly uncles and aunties) and their shape (plumb). they r so flexible (imagine a big spare tyre ard them yet they can bend here and there). I'm not pressured by them though becos yoga is not about going beyond your abilities but its about understanding your own body and pushing to your OWN limit. My yoga teacher uses alot of those hindu names.. which i do not understand but nevermind i just look around at what others are doing.

The class started with some breathing exercises (in Easy pose) then followed by

Sun Saluation: it consists of mountain pose, plank pose, dog pose, cobra pose, downward dog.. blah blah. After one cycle, my heart will beat faster and my body feeling warm.

Spinal Twist: I love this pose becos it stretches my spinal cord and my upper body. my ex yoga coach once mentioned that this pose squeezes our internal organs. Imagine a wet rug and u twist it to squeeze the water out.

Wind-relieving pose: hmm.. wondering if you will fart after performing this pose? I will.. hehe. but i tahan until the end of the class if not it will be so embarassing as the class is usually quite.

Shoulder standing pose: i cant do this pose today cos of my monthly problem. my frd, xiuyi was sooo funny. she told me that she was struggling with this pose. Though the coach was there to help, she was rather forceful.


Corpse pose (its the last pose of the routine. my coach was great, she switched off the lights, light up the candles.. wow amzing. one of my classmate fell asleep and SNOZE!
