Day 63 Yoga Class

In my constant self help manner, I tried a yoga class at the cancer center this week. The acupuncture thing was good, maybe great, but scheduling was a lot of work and I couldn't seem to get the right time to go. Anyway, the yoga is a free, weekly class and since I haven't found any where else to try it, I thought this would be an easy way to walk in as a beginner.
My body is so tired and out of shape that I was really looking forward to a great work out - this class was not exactly a work out. I was the youngest one there and the only one that seemed to know how to exercise, but I quickly figured out that this class was not at all about the workout.
I was greeted by an earthy warm woman, with long white hair and flowy clothes.. her greeting was a big bear hug... and let me remind everyone that I am not a hugger. She folded me into the room and announced in a very serene manner to the other women that I was new and to welcome me. All the women said welcome and the room was so calm and warming. There were six of us, and they all knew eachother. I was the only one still in treatment and they wished me luck. The class was very slow and the music quiet. At the end of the class during the cool down, Judy even came over and covered me with a warm blanket so I could meditate in the moment. It really was terrific, but it was all about the supportive relationship of these women to eachother. I will try and go again, but I still need to try and find a way to get some exercise...
