I thought I was making a moderately large sacrifice when I switched from amazing-human-instructor yoga to
YouTube-in-the-dining-room yoga, but I’m not so sure. Now that I have the benefit of several years of amazing-human-instructor yoga experience under my belt and know what to do, there is almost no downside to YouTube-in-the-dining-room yoga. In fact, here’s the complete list of the advantages of each:
YouTube-in-the-dining-room advantages:
- Free
- Get to choose my class every day
- Can be done on any schedule
- Can be done for any length of time
- Can be paused at will
- Can be done wearing anything I want
- Impossible to forget my ponytail holder
- No peer pressure to do or not do anything
- No driving
- Always get my “spot”
- Can meditate immediately afterward for as long as I want
- Can make tea right before starting so it’s ready as soon as I’m done
- Natural light and proximity of pretty flowers
Amazing-human-instructor advantages:
- Get to chat with amazing human instructor
- Opportunity to ask questions about poses if needed
- Don’t have to watch a 15-second ad
- Don’t have to worry about UPS coming to the door
- Other very nice people to talk to
I was kind of afraid that the awesome yoga high I got after class was
from chatting with all the very nice people, but I see now that that’s mostly just the yoga itself. I may still go back to class one day to visit, but DANG this other thing is working out well.
