When people talk about yoga, they talk about feeling "centered," "at peace" and "aligned." I don't often hear "frustrated" and "humiliated" as a part of it. Unfortunately, Yoga X gave me more of the latter.
Of course, this isn't Yoga X's fault. After a lifetime of being overweight, not stretching or regularly exercising, I am what some would call, um, rigid. In other words, asking me to do a "tree pose," is like asking an actual tree. I had to skip a lot of the exercises, including the "Warrior Three" pose pictured here and several others.
It wasn't an hour and a half wasted, though (yes, an hour and a half). I did get some good stretches in and I did feel a little burn on some of the poses I actually could do. But, I can't say I've reached inner peace.
However, I did press play.
