lululemon yoga

this morning i went to lululemon at roosevelt field mall for yoga with my friend natalie. this was our second time going together [she's went without me a few times] and each time, its a new instructor. the instructors are invited to come do a class as a promotion for themselves and the store, and so the classes are free. it was so invigorating and relaxing at the same time. downward dog, the warrior poses, deep breathing; it was all so magnificent. i've been needing a huge "wind down" from these past few weeks of running back and forth between school and work, with little to no time for myself. even though i'm grateful to have a job and to be honored with these poetry ceremonies, i sincerely just needed a minute to breathe.

the instructor was so sweet and sassy. she brought her whole usual class with her, so it was a little crowded but we made due. she encouraged us to let loose and wiggle to the music as we posed. i definitely worked up a sweat. i hope i can go back soon. i'd have to leave my house around 8 to get there but it was totally worth it. sadly, i can't go with natalie for now, because she's going back to disney in a few days! she works there, isn't that so cool? oddly, everywhere we went in the mall we saw mickeys. a mickey sticker, the back to a disney pin, etc. it was whimsical.

well, now i'm going to drink my green tea and look at the new books i got with my winnings :)
a new marilyn book and a book about dreaming.
