just wanna dance with you

this is the unfolded jasmine pearl tea. i forgot to take a followup picture the other day.

so i don't know if i told you, but i've been volunteering at yoga a couple hours a week. they have a work trade program and you get credited for your time. i'm accumulating enough credit every month for an unlimited pass ($100). but for christmas, i asked for a 20 class pass. so far, i've gone 8 times.

the only thing is, there's a special deal on the unlimited pass, so i have to buy it by feb 28. and once i have it, i won't need to use my class passes anymore. so i have to use up all 12 remaining class passes if i don't want to lose them (because they expire in april).

this is all to say that it's worked out so that i have to go to yoga every day for the rest of february. so far, i've gone 2 days in a row. last night, i was in a beginner class with an instructor i had never had before and she kind of reminded me of simon says. "bend. touch your hands to the floor. jump your feet back. downward dog. come up. hands up." (most instructors are a little more fluid about it and add words like 'gently, slowly, at your own pace, when you feel ready').

but! at the very end, she used me as an example of how to do something right! and i'm never the example! so maybe this every day yoga thing is working out for me.
