Day 7.

Sevensana.

Get it? Savasana is the best part of yoga. It's when you can lay in all your sweaty glory and come the closest you've ever been to falling asleep on a wood floor.  Until you're abruptly woken up to the voice that just kicked your ass for the past hour.

Anyway, Savasana + day seven = sevensana. It's simple math.

Today Katie and I took seperate classes because of schedule problems. She took a 9:45am power yoga basics in the flow studio (not hot) and I took a 5:30pm slow flow (when I say slow I mean slllllloooooowwwww) in the flow studio (not hot, and by not hot I mean there were fans going. I was actually somewhat chilly at one point). It was nice to unwind and take an easier class after a long first week. The studio we took our class in yesterday was 99 degrees, so I think we deserved a room temperature work out today. 

Reflections of the week (weak?):

1. My thighs are still thick. But "thunder thighs have more muscle" according to our instructor

2. It is okay to be shown up in class by a woman 3-4 times your age 

3. Dish towels can substitute as sweat towels

4. Classes don't get much easier as you go

5. I only have enough yogi clothes to last five days. Including two days where
I am the only girl wearing spandex shorts in the entire studio. Apparently spandex shorts aren't cool for yoga, I gotta do more research about it cause the shorts felt greeeeat. Men in yoga wear shorts... maybe it's a sexist thing. I don't think so.

6. If you leave any article of clothing in your car after a hot yoga class it will takeat least  six days for the sweat to dry, if it ever does

7. Do laundry every three days to avoid numbers 5 & 6
