After my previous post about being nervous for my first class, I just wanted to say that it ended up being a wonderful experience.
The teacher was mindful, thoughtful and warm. The class was welcoming and had a delightful array of ages, gender, and abilities. I left feeling totally relaxed, supple, and proud of any improvements in the poses I had made.
It did make me reflect on anyone who may have had a less welcoming first yoga experience, and I would encourage people to keep searching until they find that place that just feels “right” to them.
Anyway, just wanted to put that bit of positivity and encouragement out there.
