A day of firsts!

[lotus0kid]

I just got back from my very first yoga class that my aunt took me to. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sore as hell in a little while, but overall it was cool. The class was a mix of easy and advanced techniques- there's a beginners' class on Mondays I'm tempted to take up. It'd be nice to get some of my old flexibility back, and just maybe get in better shape as well.

And early this morning, I felt my very first mothereffing earthquake! This weird rumbling woke me up around 5am, and at the time I was too sleepy to think much about it. I think "earthquake.. stand in a door frame..?" might've crossed my mind, along with "maybe a low-flying airplane" and "just a dream." Then my aunt commented on it as we were leaving for the class. So, that happened. You know, between this and the damn Icelandic volcano...

I've been tempted to take up yoga. But I just think I need to get back in shape in general before I start going to any type of class. *really needs to stop being lazy*

I didn't even know that Maryland got earthquakes! *laughs* I have no idea what you're supposed to do in an earthquake. Is it stand in a doorframe?

Well, I'd say the class would be good for getting back in shape in general. Especially a beginners class, where you can get stuff wrong and take all the breaks you need. But, yeah, the lovely laziness has to be given up first.

Seriously! I mean, everywhere gets microquakes, but not stuff you feel! And DC is actually in the middle of a plate, so yeah, they are extremely rare. I've heard stand in a doorframe, or get under a heavy piece of furniture so stuff doesn't fall on you (though if the floor falls, you're pretty much screwed anyway).
