After walking alone for the past two mornings and with Leslie twice a week for (almost) three weeks, I decided this morning I wanted something new. It's damn cold and dark at 6 am, so I decided to find something indoors. And this is what I found.
The show is Inhale on the Oxygen network, with yoga instructor Steve Ross in L.A. This is an interesting take on a yoga class for me, though I have very little experience with yoga classes in general (having only taken them through gyms in the past). The few classes I've taken were very calm and soothing...while also doing all the beneficial stretching stuff. In Inhale, Ross takes the class through several abbreviated Sun Salutations. Unlike the few class experiences I have with these exercises, Steve Ross's class seems to be more...vibrant. With each pose, class members are shaking their hips a little (and not just because of weak muscles as in my case) and smiling like it's not 6 am. Of course, for them it probably isn't. And they have no excess body weight. And they live in Los Angeles. Huh.
Okay, so right now as I'm remembering I feel kind of like a fat slob pretending to do some yoga. But really, this morning it was pretty inspiring and woke me up.
(So much for this review.)
