On Thursday, September 15^th, I took an intermediate yoga class at Yoga Nine. I had never been in a long and narrow space while practicing, but I liked the difference, especially because the colors and decor were nice. The lights were dimmed in the room and the temperature was comfortable; I felt peaceful as soon as I walked in. The people who were attending the class all seemed to know each other or the instructor, which can sometimes be intimidating, but it wasn’t at all. Everyone was very friendly and seemed pretty experienced in yoga.

The class itself was amazing because I was able to really deepen my stretching and lengthen my body. I noticed I was able to even deepen my twist in my back further than I thought I could – of course with your push and help. It was the perfect balance of challenging and meditative, even a bit more challenging then I had expected. In the beginning of the class I felt that the room was a comfortable temperature so I thought I wouldn’t sweat that much, but boy was I wrong!
