First times

[wiseheart]

Firstly, the good one: I went to Etka Yoga for the first time today. It's not yoga in the traditional sense, rather a series of stretching and twisting exercises, which will probably be good for my bad back. I have no high hopes for the hissing and whistling noises in my ear that I've been having on and off for months by now. All women in our family had them, at least up to three generations. It's stress related, and once it appears, it won't go away again. But one learns to live with it. Etka Yoga is fun, though, so I'll go there again.

Secondly, I got my first rabid homophobe reviewer. Some idiot poured out his/her hatred against homosexuality in general and slash fic in particular on my FF.Net review board, leaving a long rant disguised as a review for "The Equinox Logs". More or less along the line "you write well, why do you write such utter shit and why don't you warn us poor, sensitive souls that there will be perverted stuff".

Idiots tire me so much.

I guess....it's better on a computer screen then this person is off annoying people on the streets...at least you can ignore it unlike the whistling noises in your ears. Apparentely, William Shatner didn't know he had the same thing until he went camping and in the silence he could finally hear the weird noises!!

Congrats on the yoga, this is why I bellydance, for the stretching and twisting. You feel so good afterwards, but please, watch your back!

Fortunately, the stupid noises aren't there all the time - although having anything common with William Shatner is really shocking. *g*

I'd prefer bellydancing, if I had the choice, but this yoga course is held in our school, and in exchange for the woman who lead ist not having to pay a fee for the room, we get it for free, so it's a mutually advantageous arrangement.

I enjoyed it very much, she's really considerate towards our age and shape (or the lack thereof, hehehe), and the relaxation at the end is wonderful. We lay rolled into blankets on these thin isolation mattresses, a candle is burning and meditative music is playing - it's really very, very nice.

Well, not so much in common, mayhap! William's noises are there all the time! LOL

Glad you enjoyed your Yoga. The teacher sounds great, and really, it's kinda like a belly dance minus the costumes and middle eastern music. Who knows, maybe a belly dance class will come up, and all that Yoga will have been so useful.
