Xtremely hard Yoga

Day 11
Luke got up this morning and did yoga in the living room while I was fast asleep.  (Good thing I decided to do YogaX in the afternoon - it ends with a few minutes of corpse pose and fetus pose - hellllllooo Sleep II!)  I decided to do my first Yoga X in the afternoon in my living room before a meeting on campus and I figured I wouldn't really even break a sweat.  Wrong.  I could not believe how advanced some of those yoga moves were!  The first half was a pretty intense struggle full of moves I couldn't do - half moon was hard enough, half moon revolved?!  Try it, it's hard! 

The problem with YogaX is that I find the first half extremely hard (how on earth are you supposed to do the crow pose and dig your knees into your triceps when it hurts bad enough just touching them?!), but at the same time it is somehow really boring. I prefer the second half since it is a lot of balance poses and stretching. 

I didn't know why Luke wanted to watch me complete the end of YogaX until it got to the Ohms.  I could not do the Ohms because I kept laughing - it was just so loud, and awkward!  Maybe by the end I'll be harmonizing ohms with Tony, but for now I'll just keep those to myself.

Oh man, I am waking up in 5.5 hours...
