6 - Power Yoga at the Gym

[Chris]

This afternoon was my first Tuesday class of the year. It is a gym power yoga class, and I love it dearly! This was the first yoga class I ever walked into, over a year ago. I still can remember my anxiety over whether I would fit in, whether I could keep up, whether this was right for me. And I sucked. But the teacher and students were so accepting, so encouraging, even complimentary in a "not bad for your first time" kind of way. I knew right then that I could do this, that yoga was going to be part of my life.

"You start where you are". That was such a liberating concept for me. Now, I must remember to pass it on.

Yes, gym yoga can be a great pathway into the practice! I'm so glad you found your way to yoga.

Gym yoga really has brought so many people to the practice. From the gym, they start to explore and grow into "real" yoga studios. It is so fun to watch! and to experience -- it happened to me, and it changed my life. Congratulations on changing yours, Chris!
