whimper

i didn't think that my yoga classes would be one of the things i missed most here. i see a lot of gentle, beginner type classes. there's not much approaching the kind of challenging classes i'm used to. i tried one place near my house the other night. "dynamic hatha" should have really been called stretching 101. there was well over 30 minutes of stretching and flapping of arms overhead, rubbing of faces. wtf. what a waste of time and money. i was getting all aggro and agitated. plus the instructor was german, i believe, with a heavy accent and very high-pitched voice. hardly relaxing...

the gyms also tend to skew towards the ghetto. just, really old equipment. i'm such a spoiled new yorker.
