Yoga debut
Today I went to a yoga studio for the first time! I went to the recently opened Shinjuku-Gyoen studio of Tomonaga Yoga Institute, school that has a long history since being founded in 1978, unlike the many yoga places that have been popping up because of the ongoing yoga boom. I used their free lesson given to anyone who drops in for the first time. All you need to do is get there about 20 minutes before a class and bring a yoga mat or towel. (Classes are given in Japanese, so you're better off knowing body parts and that type of stuff.)
Until now I had been reluctant to try out yoga. I knew it has to be good for your body, but I didn't think I was quite flexible enough to get through. This morning I was still a bit hesitant but I'm glad I went. This place's classes are mostly aimed for beginners, all moves are rather slow and respect the capabilities of each. I realized that I could use that kind of stretching and exercises once in a while so I'll probably be going back.
Unlike some places which force you to become a member to attend, at Tomonaga you can drop in at any class (no reservation necessary) for a reasonable cost of ¥3000, which I'll probably doing sometimes. There are also better deals for those who want to go often.
