week 8

This week was spring break, I went to florida to visit my family again. While I was there my sister and I went to another yoga class together. This time it wasn't on a beach. We went to love yoga center. This place didn't feel as if it was a ritual yoga studio. It felt more of a "gym" environment. We did a bikram class and it just didn't feel right. This was not the kind of experience I was hoping for. Nothing about this class made me feel like I can conquer anything. I would not recommend my sister to go back there.
