Political correctness gone awry (again)

Since when did "students" become "learners"?

Well that was dismal

What made me think i could do yoga? For something that is supposed to make you feel relaxed, peaceful and at one with everything around you, it sure made me feel fat, uncomfortable and awkward. So much for self esteem. Now i realize i'm about as out of shape as you can possibly get. I didn't expect to be able to do everything the way the instructor can do it. I don't have unrealistic expectations of my body. But being this big puts extra weight on my knees so it hurts when kneeling on them. And my legs are pretty big so they don't bend in half very well, for when kneeling and sitting back on your heels. And my stomach gets in the way. And the floor is too hard even with a mat so it isn't comfortable laying on my back even with my knees bent. I'd need about 6 mats and a feather bed on top of it. I could do some of the movements not too badly, even if not as fully. That's ok. But mostly i just felt like this really wasn't for me. I don't know if i'll go back again next week. I'm supposed to come out of there relaxed and instead i'm all wound up. I think for now i'll just stick to my usual workout. I can do that and i feel better about myself when i leave the gym after it.
