Min Wye doing Yoga?
filed in Ramblings on Mar.05, 2009
Tonights post doesnt really have any direction, mainly because I had a really good blog post idea but yoga tonight totally blanked out my mind and unfortunately, the blog post idea went too. Yes, you read right…yoga, it was actually my first class too. Honestly, the only thing I knew about yoga was from my aunts back in Malaysia, doing poses that had funny names….animal names, like crane and turtle pose.
And actually, that was exactly what we did except it wasnt as corny as it first sounded, I actually came out enjoying and benefitting from the “dog”, “baby” and “cat” poses that relate to the different ways your body is positioned. By the end of the whole session, I was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep in a matter of seconds! Even the boring lectures at uni could never put me to sleep that fast!
Now, what could yoga possibly benefit my dancing? Well, not only will it increase my flexibility, it will also break the stress muscles accumulated from dancing and improve my posture while dancing. Not to mention, sometime in the future, I might be able to contend with Mary-Grace’s undeniably impossible spins:

by spinning in a pose like this!
Maybe I could spin in this pose one day
Till then, I will continue dreaming during yoga classes.
