Went for Yoga lesson today and I was almost late for my first lesson. Luckily I made it in time! I learnt a new thing called "Ujayee"(Pronounce as "Wu Jar Yee" breathing. Until now I don't know how to master this kind of breathing. It is not normal breathing like what most of us always do. This kind of breathing, you DON'T breathe through your nose. You breathe through your lungs(with your mouth close). Not everyone can do it but if you are smart enough to master this kind of breathing, it will be good for you in the long run especially if you are a swimmer/diver or anything that requires you to hold your breathe more than 5 minutes(I can't even hold my own breathe for a minute lor!) now I need to hold my breathe for like...5 minutes?! Mad?! A few of my yoga-mates can even hold their breath using Ujayee for 10 minutes!!!
Later on, we do some yoga exercise that requires us to paired up. There is ONE particular yoga exercise that I will never ever forget cos the teacher mention this,"This particular yoga exercise is extremely dangerous if you don't practise it well or if your position is wrong. Your neck or head MUST NOT move at all in any circumstances when you are in THIS position because you will break the tiny vain in your neck area and once this happens, YOU WILL GET PARALYZE PERMANENTLY and I am NOT kidding!!!" I was paired up with a China girl and a few of our Yoga mates came to help us. I manage to get my WHOLE body weight up in the end. When the instructor ask,"Is this your first time? I heard that there is one new girl who is doing yoga for her very first time" I nod(I forgot I was in that position!!!) and my yoga-mates shout,"DON'T MOVE YOUR HEAD!!!!" The instructor raise his eye browns and said,"Wow! Serious? That's very good for a first-timer yoga!" When we tried to teach the China girl the same thing, her neck felt very stiff and so we advise her to stop the exercise. She ask how come she can't and I can? She ask what is it like for me doing that? I said,"There will be a lot of pressure on your shoulders and your neck area should feel very "empty" like as if your neck doesn't exist there at all. That will be the correct way. If you still feel stiffness around your neck area, either you are in a wrong position or that your body can't do this exercise at all" I later found out from one of my yoga-mates that not everyone can do this exercise. The instructor said that he heard someone from community centre, who did this exercise, a 26-yr-old girl, somewhere along the session, either her yoga-mate didn't support her enough or that she did it wrongly, her whole body weight came crushing down on her and she got paralyze in her WHOLE BODY in the end. I was shock!
I went for the 2nd session later in the afternoon, but it doesn't feel as good as the first lesson. It was suppose to be a combat yoga lesson but somehow, the instructor(supposely to be a female) didn't turn up and a guy taught us instead. I almost "died" there! Or maybe most of my positions are wrong. Now I got a muscle pain on my right ankle and my whole back is also aching!
Went out with Esther and Turtle. I was suppose to attend CG but they keep asking me not to go. Plus, the location was at Tampines and they inform at the LAST MINUTE!!! Haiz...I think some people didn't read my very previous post on what I said about last minute things?! Went shopping with them and I bought some accessories to match the clothes that I buy. I finally found a pair of shoes and bag that I like but I don't have the money to buy. Can you believe it if I told you that I found a very nice handbag selling at only $13?! But it is only big enough for me to contain my wallet, hand phone, my PSP and my organiser. I am very tempted to buy but I don't have the money. Can't wait for my pay day to come! Esther ask if I need a hand bag urgently? If not I can save up to wait. I do not know whether to put that bag at BaoBei's place or mine? Cos BaoBei is not at home most of the time but then when Saturdays came, I have no small bag to use! *fan nao!* Went for a drink with Da Lao Po and them. Taking a lot of funny pictures.
Went back home after that. Had a tired but fun day today.
