Tonight I went to a yoga class that was advertised as a Basics class at the OM studio.
Brrrrrrrr . . . . and the funny thing is my last post was all about a studio that was too hot! The class was Basics up until the end when the instructor did poses that were advanced. Not a simple tree pose but extended hand-to-big-toe pose, which in the temperature of the class was extremely difficult. My joints weren't warmed up enough to attempt it. She did pause for straps and was very clear with her instructions . . . I as usual shunned the strap use-age and it showed when I tipped over as I saw the beginner yoga practitioner in front of me wobble continuously. I could feel my toes cramp up because of the cold and I never broke a sweat. Which NEVER happens to me once my core temperature heats up.
I did find a parking space very easily. Dee the instructor was very friendly and we had a nice chat after class. The studio was long and thin with an unused stage-like section that wasn't used. Like most studios in Cambridge the noise from the street was pretty substantial but like living near a hospital you get used to tuning it out.
The class size was small with enough space to stretch out . . . I did like that!
So, my plan is to go to the next class which is free (the initial class is $10 with the second one free) and making certain that I go to one of their advertised HOT classes. Plus, I'd like to try their $5 Saturday afternoon class just for the heck of it.
This is probably the easiest entry to yoga class I've been to (minus the balance poses!) . . . if only they would crank up the heat, they'd have a higher rating from me.
