Today was my first yoga lesson. When I did warm up exercises and practiced basic movements, I could hear my bones making "breaking" noise. When Lisa my tutor asked me to close my eyes, feel my breath and my body, I almost fell asleep. Yes, I was standing when I almost fell asleep. Was I too tired or too relaxed? I have no idea.

Lisa told us the first thing in practising yoga is to find your centre and keep the balance. Feel your body! It was not very easy for me to keep the balance and I failed to do some postures. I discovered that yoga has something like Taichi, we are encouraged to feel "something" from inside. Lisa did mention that yoga is different from other sports/exercises. It is something from inside to outside and other sports/exercises are more from outside to inside. I am not sure whether it is 'qi' (in Taichi) but will discover more in the future.

Anyway, it was very enjoyable experience!
