Last Night's Flying Adventures
After walking around Union Square taking pictures and up to Madison Square Park, I decided to try out a class at Crunch I've been meaning to try since I moved uptown, Antigravity Yoga Wings. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it. I can imagine it would be what yoga would feel like if you were on LSD. It's cool but sort of terrifying. My boyfriend asked "Why would you want to do something like that?" But I could tell he was somewhat impressed. Anyway, it's extremely challenging and hard to believe the fabric hammocks can hold up to 1,000 pounds. Would have been good to know that last night. It involves following detailed instructions, having some serious arm strength, trusting yourself, letting go of your fears and stretching. I wouldn't recommend it to beginner exercisers and you should probably have a few months of yoga under your belt. Anyway, I'll give it a second chance, but we'll see.
My evening ended with a walk home where I stopped to get, gasp!, a bagel. While in the shop, some crazy drunk guy dipped into the store and screamed, giving me a near heart attack and making me realize that perhaps I wouldn't fair that well in a hold up.
