I have wanted to try Yoga for years but for various reasons (studying, busy demanding job, 3yo DD and a DH who works crazy long hours etc) just haven't got around to it.
I found a local Beginner's Ashtanga Yoga class and planned to go this morning. I have been looking forward to it all week. I bought a yoga mat, I arranged childcare, I was excited to try something new and to actually do something for me for once...
Then I chickened out
I'm not a very confident person (well, I am professionally but not in myself iyswim), I'm a size 12 so not massively overweight but nowhere near the svelte, perfectly toned Yoga stereotype. I'm not flexible and I haven't done any proper exercise for years. I just suddenly panicked that I'd make a complete tit of myself and couldn't seem to make it out the door.
I am now sat here in my living room in newly purchased yoga leggings, with my newly purchased mat, feeling completely ridiculous, not to mention annoyed with myself.
I don't know why I started this thread really or what it is I'm looking for. Just wanted to tell someone I suppose and too embarrassed to share this with anyone in real life.
Thanks.
