Tails of a 17th Street Geisha

I woke up this morning, feeling a little tickle in my throat threatening to become a full-blown cold. Still, I went to the gym and worked out for an hour. Then I focused really hard on work and got A LOT accomplished. The best part of the day was when I randomly decided to pick up and peruse the Willow Street Yoga brochure that had been sitting under my desk for the last couple of weeks. Turns out that the first day of the summer session was today, Monday, July 10th. I signed up and hit the Yoga studio right after work for Yoga 1. I was there for 2 hours and had the best time. Stretching, meditation, breathing and clearing my mind of all the noise I had put in it was the best thing for me. I decompressed and felt good, and all we did was some basics and go very slowly through a couple of moves. I am so glad that I joined this yoga studio (which happens to be right around the corner from my work!)

When I walk to work, I blast my headphones. When I sit on the bus, I chat randomly with family and friends or read the paper. When I’m at home, I listen to music or have CNN on the tube as background noise. But while I sat in the yoga studio with a bunch of random people, I saw and heard nothing. It was GREAT!

I’ve done yoga on tapes/DVDs and enjoyed them, but this was FANTASTIC!

Can’t wait for next week.

Tomorrow will be a little different for post-work fun: KICKBALL! I hope I KICK some ass.

Until then, I’m going to bed early and hitting they gym tomorrow morning.

I’m so lame! Life is so exciting and I’m simply going to the gym…
