Tried yin today. Felt like a 90 minute Swedish massage. So nice. I went to this very nice facility in Woodinville, WA called Balance Yoga. Very professional and clean facility with many amenities. Do check it out if you live in the area (I am about 35 min North of there). Highly rated through my Corporate Passport Benefits as well. I think I will try Hatha next. I bought a 30 days for 30 dollars unlimited use. I will probably go 2x a week over the next month to explore all the different yoga types. Can really feel Yoga working my ABS now. They are sore, but I guess that is a good thing for when the shirt comes off this Summer. lol. Will be so much fun and oh so relaxing...

Im so happy for you Fiddleman! You went to check it out and actually stayed for a class. One of my favorite classes is a yin class also. Mine is called Dynamic Yin and I love it.

You will get better each time you go. The great thing about yoga is the journey. Seeing how you improve physically and mentally each time you go. Last night was my 6th class (last night was hot at 105 degrees) and I am definitely stronger than my first class. I also lack the upper body strength but I could tell it was getting better. I was able to hold my planks a lot longer than before.

Like you, the heat really doesnt bother me so much. The stinging of the eyes from the sweat dripping into them is a different story lol. Its the moves that challenge me for sure. I have little ouchies on my knees and elbows but I feel awesome!

Anyway, way to go. Keep it up!
