pieces of art

I partook in my first Yoga Class last night. My yoga experience lies with playing on my Wii and and maybe trying a couple of videos, so to actually be in a class and have and instructor, is a really cool experience. I can see where the culture comes in, and creating a lifestyle around it. I felt very at peace and rested come the end of the class, but oh boy, did i sweat...a little bit (girls perspire and glow, but i definitely had a little bit of gross going on).

My other thought that came from it was that each pose and position is a piece of art. The way your body flows from one to the next with such ease is almost beautiful (well, i wasn't at on this level, obviously, but pretty much everyone else in the class).

This morning I woke up feeling a bit sore, but good at the same time. It's like I'm aware of every muscle in my body. I'm definitely gonna try this again.

snow day! but not for long!

Tuesday night it snowed in Vancouver. It snowed all night and into the wee hours of Wednesday morning. The snow looked so pretty on all the trees. All day Wednesday, I stayed inside. I literally didn't leave the apartment once. Which is why I have no photos of the pretty snow. Mind you, half way through the day, it began to rain, and all the pretty snow turned into lots of slippery slush.

As of this morning, pretty much no snow in sight.

I guess this means i can go for a jog without slipping and falling on ice....

Instead, you get to see a photo of my new running shoes! I'm new to jogging, so I wanted something that would inspire me to go out there and do it, and something that would take a lot of the impact from my feet hitting the concrete. They're perfect!!

Kits beach, here I come!
