Things continue to go well at CorePower. Better than well, actually - they called and offered me a shift for the yoga-for-trade program. So assuming all goes well at my training this Saturday, I may not have to depend on my mother's largesse for my mood-regulating activities! Woo! The only hitch is that I have to figure out what to do for the 18th, since I'll be out of town...but I mentioned that in my email response, and they still said "Come out for training", so I assume we'll be able to work something out.

Physically, I'm very pleased with how I'm continuing to improve. I had sort of expected to plateau at some point, and it's true that progress hasn't been quite as quick as it was when I first started, but my balance and strength are still growing noticeably. And then there's the aforementioned mood-evening effects. There's a video making the rounds claiming that the best thing you can possibly do for your health is spend at least twenty minutes per day doing something active; just walking or whatever didn't seem to be doing a lot to help my mental state, but an hour of power-yoga four or five times a week is having a really noticeable effect. I sleep better, I spend less time depressed and moody, I feel better about my life in general. (I even wrote a story! Did I mention that?) I'm hoping that this turns out to be a continuous thing and not "a couple weeks from now you adjust and then you're back to your usual mood-swingy self"...fingers crossed.

On a more entertaining note, yesterday a friend and I were going to go to another class at a different studio, which I was a bit excited about - the teacher there is supposed to be really excellent, and also teaches an aerial yoga class that I'd potentially be quite interested in. But due to a scheduling mix-up, we ended up not getting out there in time. (The class was at 6, she had thought it was at 6:30, so there was a stretch of about twenty minutes or so where I was getting more and more anxious waiting for her, and she was thinking "hey, we have plenty of time..." and then we realized what the mix-up was and had a good laugh about it. I was all "I'm so glad you don't think me ridiculously uptight!") We figured we'd go to the CorePower class at 7, hung out and chatted for a bit, and then I went to double-check the schedule and make sure I hadn't been confused on the time...and as it happened, the class had been canceled. So instead we hung around in our yoga pants and chatted with Brian and ordered take-out and celebrated International Gin Week. When we dropped her off, she was all "Wow, this was the best yoga class ever! I feel so flexible!" Maybe I should start a new school...?
