1st yoga class - check!
The instructor is in her mid-forties and has to be in the best shape of any woman her age (ok, not that far off from my age). She was so incredibly tone, but not crazy Madonna-muscular. If I could pick any body to look like, it would be this woman's.
Anyway, I digress. I am so not cut-out for yoga. Maybe it's just that I've never really done it (other than pre-natal yoga), and I need to give it a few more classes before I determining if I will like it or not. I'm so not flexible and I'm so out of shape. It's not very fun to try and get into some moves when your saddlebags or muffin top are getting in the way.
And holy wall of mirrors! I haven't looked at myself in a set of mirrors like that in ages, and I didn't recognize the person looking back at me. At one point, the instructor said something like "Open up your hips, as that is where you store all your emotions". And I was thinking the whole time, "Damn, I sure as hell have a lot of emotions stored up!"

You crack me up! I felt the same way. I went to prenatal yoga and loved it. I then tried a regular class and felt so out of place. I pretty much have the tighest hamstrings known to man, so it sucks. I haven't gone back. I really think I need to loose some more weight before I try it again!
