down dog in the hood

i found the perfect place for yoga in the neighborhood tonight. i've been putting off going to a class for ages, but my mom sent along my old yoga mat in the last shipment from san diego, so i had no excuses. i searched around online and found this place. a dance center, minutes from my house. not only do they have yoga classes, they also have african, afro-caribbean, and modern... all classes i'm down to take. and the best part: classes are a measly $11 for an hour and a half! the one yoga class i took before in the city was $16. a big difference!
AND the class was great. only 6 of us, all from the neighborhood, with very individually focussed attention. i've never had that in yoga classes before. i'm usually sticking my butt in my neighbor's face while the teacher hardly notices me. a nice change. i'm gonna make myself keep it up. loving the new fort greene discoveries!
