A little over a week ago I got a coupon for a free yoga class at a nearby yoga studio. It was a spur of the moment decision that led to me even accepting the coupon since a guy was handing them out on the street outside of the studio. As a rule I never accept things being handed out on the street (except for the product samples they sometimes distribute around Dupont Circle when they are testing something new) but I thought: well, I have some free time with my vacation going on and I've been wanting to do something to add to my running and help my flexibility, maybe I'll do it.

Tonight I tried out the Flow 1 class at Flow Yoga Center. It was a lot of fun, very energizing, and also really tough. I used a lot of muscles I'm not at all used to using in running. By the time we got to handstands in the shape of an L with our feet on the wall, I was pretty worn out. I'll definitely go again if I can get the money and time situations to work out. I think it is definitely worth it. The question now is if I should keep going to Flow, which was very nice, but not as convenient as the other studio a block and a half away. Hmm, I think I may stick with what I know. In any case, it was fun.
