I always wanted to try yoga, but I was too timid to join a yoga class at first.
Since that’s your first time trying something like that, it can be especially embarrassing if you’re overweight like I am.
I didn’t know what I was doing the first time and I know it showed; at least I was able to learn with an introductory class instead of an intermediate one. It took a few months of dedicated motivation to keep progressing with yoga at my weight and with my poor physical physique. But I learned that you start to build endurance and body strength with repeat practice. Fortunately there is no shortage of yoga studios in my city as well, so I had a lot of places to choose from after my initial yoga classes disappeared at the fitness center where I was taking them. That forced me to find a yoga studio if I wanted to continue with my new hobby. While I should have gone with an established yoga studio from the start, there was a brand new yoga studio down the road from my house and I was enticed to give it a shot. I didn’t last long at the new yoga studio because they didn’t have any air conditioning at all. It wasn’t “hot yoga” either where you purposefully turn on the heat to make the participants sweat like they’re in a sauna. This was normal, everyday yoga but the building simply lacked indoor climate control. I knew that I shouldn’t pay top dollar for yoga classes in a building that doesn’t even have an air conditioner installed.
