My First Pilates Class of the Year

The class was packed! I tried to hide in the back row because I was a little sore from yesturday's yoga class but my plan didn't work. Joschi called me out anyway. "I'm watching you!" How does he know all our names? Anyway, there was quite a few people who hadn't been to class before, but that didn't stop Joschi from kicking our butts. We worked the whole body in a systematic way that was challenging, but left me feeling fantastic for the rest of the day. Even the studio owner pushed herself with us. Even though Joschi had great music and funny jokes, towards the end of the class he got serious and helped us get in touch with our bodies. He explained how our bodies worked and how our practice was improving our posture and alignment in a way we could all understand. I am definitely going to be there tomorrow for Angela's class... if I can walk! I guess i could crawl if need be...
