Yoga Class
I went to a yoga class today
It is different from doing yoga at home
because I can lose my balance
and not be embarrased in front of other people
except I wasn’t embarrased.
Doing yoga with other people is
kind of cool because everyone
is kind of in their own zone
breathing, balancing, moving their
own bodies in a controlled manner.
Yoga is very relaxing and I can tell
that my body is getting stronger
and my balance is improving
and my range of motion has greatly improved
but, the more I learn, the more there is to learn.
I would like to say I am going back soon,
but life happens and I get busy, but I
do want to go again. But until then,
I will do yoga at home, where I can fall time
and time again, and no one will know.

While falling in front of your fellow yogis is certainly a valid concern, there’s something unifying about trying to find balance together, each person trying to hide their quivering muscles.
“the more I learn, the more there is to learn”–this is wisdom. It is the joy of learning; the further we fall into that rabbit hole, the deeper it seems to grow. Learning is a never-ending journey. Anywho, enough with my rambling. Lovely poem, and I hope you get to return to yoga class soon!
Getting on your matt at home is difficult. I applaud you. Some great ideas here, especially near the end: “I would like to say I am going back soon, / but life happens.”
