Not To Be Trusted With Knives

Getting My Bend On

November 5, 2012 by Beth

A few months ago, I got a Groupon for a yoga studio about a 3.2 second walk from my apartment. I bought it at the time thinking “this will be perfect after I’m done my half marathon – a chance to focus on some yoga’ing to stretch out my overworked marathoning muscles.” Well, it’s been awhile since that half marathon, but technically this is still *after* my half marathon, so I wasn’t wrong.

Inspired by the November Challenge ((i.e., I knew I had to do some physical activity today and I thought “why not activate that Groupon and get my bend on?)), I activated the Groupon today and went to my first of 20 classes. It was dubbed a “flow for runners & cyclists” class, and since there were only 2 students, it was like having my own personal yoga instructor!

The instructor was excellent and I love the fact that I can walk to the studio in 3.2 seconds. It seems a bit pricy for non-hot yoga though – drop in classes cost $18, which is the same as drop in at the hot yoga studio I like ((Monthly and yearly memberships are also about equivalent at this studio and the hot yoga studio I like.)), and the hot yoga studio has to heat the room up and provides showers and fancy pants soap in said showers ((Sadly, the hot yoga place I like is one million miles away). The Groupon price was good ($69 for 20 visits)), but we’ll have to see after those 20 classes if I’m impressed enough to spend this kind of non-Group level coin.
