Day 2, Yoga!

Today is my Birthday!  
I got asked a question a lot today at work.  "Are you going out tonight?"  The answer is no.  I went and did the 6:30 yoga class at the JCC.  I am very committed to this journey.  
I haven't done any form of yoga in years.  I do the occasional pose or two with the kids in class, and I've done a couple of teacher training yoga workshops, but nothing grown up since I was in college.  I thought that I could use the stretch after the weights yesterday.  I do, however have a pretty cool yoga mat and an even cooler bag that I made in which to carry it.  
The class itself was wonderful, but I realized how badly I was out of practice.  My balance is terrible!  I'm pretty flexible, but not as much as I needed to be for this particular class.  I was pretty unstable.  I'm sure if I practice, I'll get better.  
The thing about yoga is that instead of feeling energized, I felt relaxed after the class.  Considering the fact that I still had to drive forty minutes to get home and then cook dinner, I"m not sure if that's a good thing. Maybe long term it will be.  I do need to relax more.  Maybe high and low energy days?  I don't know, but I'm open to suggestions.  Post comments please.  
I don't know what tomorrow's workout will be, something high energy I'm sure.
