Yoga auf Deutsch
I always wanted to join an Yoga class, I have a friend in Brazil that practices it and I was very much interested, though I haven’t got the time to join him. Talking to a colleague from the office, she told me there are Yoga classes on the fitness studio where she works out, so she was interested to try it as well and invited me to join one class with her.

She is called Natou. Such a nice girl! So helpful, interested and interesting. She is German, her mother is German, and her father came from Senegal. The best on her is how often she smiles, it’s above the German average, for sure! Natou studied in Maastricht, NL. exactly what I want to study and she does a trainneship here in the company.

Yesterday we went to the Yoga together, what a experience! Please try to imagine the situation. We enter the Fitness studio like any other one (lot’s of lights, fit people, strong bodybuilders, girls on their tops, pop music and so on), then we went to the room where the Yoga classes take place, there we had only candle lights, no music at all and a very spiritual atmosphere. The teacher came and differently from what I expected, it wasn’t an “Indian look like” instructor with a big pony tail, she was looking pretty German, both in the outfit and in the appearance. (I mean she fits to the stereotype we have about Germans, blond, tall, etc.)

The teacher sat on her towel, greeted everybody and started the meditation, well I didn’t know that we would have meditation, neither did my friend Natou. We all were sitting in the Lotus flower position, we had to close our eyes and she was conducting the meditation (in German of course, and I´m not fluent enough to follow such a thing) Imagine, I had to keep one eye open, just in case she was telling them to do any exercise. ;-)

After that, we stood up to practice some yoga positions, she was conducting the movements. This part was fine, apart from that you need strength and power to do some positions. Overall, I found it very relaxing and I felt very well after practising it. I would join it again.
