Intermediate Class

I loved it.  I mean it was hard, but I felt really strong for most of it, and got a fair few compliments from the teacher for some of my postures. My half moon and standing bow feel really good and despite a few of the new postures being a bit outside my capability I … Continue reading Intermediate Class

It was a late class starting at 21:15.  So far this month I’ve mainly found the yoga classes to be fairly intensive and quite variable with my level of flexibility and strength.
