Comme la vie est fantastique en France and other parts too!

I started this blog in 2006 as a way to stay in touch with friends and family while I was living and working as an English Language Assistant in Nantes, France. Since then, I've become a bit of a "blogger", sharing my adventures on the town, exploring new areas by bike, and any other random details that come along.

Something About Swimming Gets Me Blogging...

Long time no blog, so here we go. First entry for the New Year:

Ok, so last night Kathryn and I tried out this Kundalini yoga class that my Mom's friend Barbra teaches in Milpitas. I was a little worried that it wouldn't be enough of a workout b/c I guess Kundalini focuses a bit more on the meditative side than the physical (though I think all forms of yoga do combine both). Well, I neededn't have worried b/c my inflexible ass is OUT OF SHAPE in yet another way. Apparently yogis judge your age by the flexibility of your spine, so I am here to tell ya that I've gotta be pushin' 99!!

When I parked, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Lifestretch Yoga is located next to a bar. My thinking was, "If the yoga doesn't get me nice and relaxed, a drink at Galaxy Cocktail afterwards will!" Um yeah, I'm guessing they named it that b/c the ppl that frequent this establishment are out of this world- literally. This place straight makes Mojos look like a swanky lounge on the Upper East Side!

So, we're in our relaxed pose, humming our mantras, "looking through the third eye" when all of a sudden we hear screaming, "I'M DRINKING BITCH!!' and, "Oh HELL NAW, I ain't going back to jail fool!!". I took this as an extra little challenge thrown my way. All in all it was great experience; I'm already a pretty big fan of the nap time afterwards where we just lie on our backs in the dark. Yep, that's gotta be the kicker for me. We signed up for the new student special $30 for as many classes as you can take in a month, so I'm sure I'll have more to report soon.
