Today's yoga was a 11am hatha class with Dan, at the Granville Island location.
Joining me was my friend Andrea. I really admire her, she is 7+ months pregnant, still limber and energetic despite carrying a basketball belly, and still keeping up with her yoga practice. Being a yogi, she is intuitive to her body, and she made adjustments as necessary.
It was nice to be side by side, sharing the beautiful practice and meditative experience with her soon-to-be born baby!
The Granville Island location is really nice. The windows overlook False Creek, with a great view of the ocean, mountains and downtown cityscape. It was a beautiful sunny day, and our yoga mats were situated exactly where a kitty cat would choose to lounge, with glorious rays of sunshine shining down on us.
Dan teaches a flow based practice, with a good measure of stretch. He has a commanding voice, and puts on a good class.
As I looked around the class, I took note of the wide range of students. There were the young and the old. The skinny and the plump. Experienced yogis and beginners. Men and women. It's nice to have that diversity. I appreciate that my yoga centre isn't just for skinny young dancer types, which you might often expect from a yoga studio.
I also noticed a girl wearing see-thru yoga pants. I saw this when her butt was in air, with her legs wrapped by her ears. Ewww! Didn't she read the news stories about Lululemon's defective yoga pants?! Why hasn't she gone into the store to ask for a refund?! Is she even aware?! Should I say anything?! Nah...best to let it be, we are responsible for our own clothing!
Following yoga class, Andrea and I went to the Market, where we had lunch, and then shopped for veggies. What a treat! I should really make weekend yoga at Granville Island part of my weekend routine.
