enlighten me

this year, i decided i was going to make more use out of my wednesdays off, or at least spend them worrying about what the next big thing will be for me. part of this "plan" involves trying to take a yoga class for beginners. you would think this would not be so hard, that somewhere, at some point, on a given wednesday, i could find a beginner yoga class to attend in my own town. but apparently, wednesday is reserved for pre-natal and post-natal yoga classes city-wide. while, broadly speaking, i would classify myself as post-natal, i suspect that this will not cut the normative mustard at my local ymca.
but really, would it kill them to make a little room? i'd be happy to just inconspicuously do my little thing in the corner somewhere, quietly falling behind the rest of the class without any complaining at all. and i'm sure anyone could benefit from a class focused on "internal healing techniques", or "conditioning for your infant's newly-formed rubbery body", or whatever it is that supposedly makes this class so natal.
i guess i'll take my new yoga pants and try a workout tape at home. they might be pajama bottoms, though. i'm not sure.

which makes the whole thing that much more awkward.

I have a tape you can borrow. It's pilates though. And pajama pants are fine except sometimes when you do the rolly thing they get pulled down, but you know.... it's your house.
thanks meg-o. i actually already have a couple of tapes, one of which is not too bad.
the pants work fine for the yoga thing. i tried a couple of workouts this weekend and managed to get something out of them while staying completely panted. afterwards, i put on a baseball cap and some tretors, tied a denim shirt around my waste and powerwalked to wholefoods for a medium soy latte (in preparation for my role as a post-natal mother living in downtown durham).
How about ninjitsu on Wednesday? I hear it offers similar benefits for the mind and body, and most classes provide an elegant tritard.
sure, if there was such a thing as a ninja, i'd be all for it.
