It had been yoga for a year now.

Today marks the last day of my membership in the fitness center I go to for my weekly dose of yoga and zumba. I'm still undecisive whether to continue or not, as the fees are steeper by almost 70% than what I had paid for when I joined.

One year had passed, I still have that picture I took that time before I started on the quest for a more flattering figure. One thing for sure, there's a significant difference there indeed, though it can't be said it's BIG. Thus, it can be said the small affordable fees I paid for it was worthwhile. Other than having a curvier line, compared to the straight one before, my knees also strengthen up now and I don't have much backaches. With all these changes I feel them myself, it's no secret I do enjoy practising yoga.

The instructor sometimes would show us how to partner up and help the other to do handstands, elbow stands or tripods. Yesterday, it was the first time I was chosen to demonstrate the elbow stand together with him. I have to admit I feel tremendously honored. And very happy that he compliments me for the nice posture I make with some of the poses.

Being a regular there many mornings, I made a few acquaintances. It's not very pleasant in the beginning when I knew noone there, but later on, we nodded at each other, which later turned to a smile, then some "Hi" and small chats and now, we can gossip and talk more. I feel very sad indeed that I won't be seeing them anymore, and yet, I didn't tell them so. That's because I still am not decided to continue with it or not. I do wonder if I would be missed. It's a weird peculiar feeling I can't even find the word for. Kinda mm-seh-tuck to let go?

Well, with RM150+ a month, I think perhaps I can save the money to buy more dvds to work it out myself or join some other yoga club. It might be eye-opener to learn from other instructors, who knows, right? Moreover, I will be saving on the carpark fees and the laplapjubjub food I pamper myself after each session. With that in mind, I keep my options open. See how things go.
