Maybe I've not been yoging for long enough yet but I certainly haven't grown a shoe size so far! Isn't the widest part of the foot the bit just behind the toes? I wouldn't call my toes 'cramped together' but unless I am actively spreading them, they aren't as wide as the bit they attach to. I think you've got mishapen feet, mate.
Is Bethnel Green in Hackney?
Either way, it was a good day. At least from the perspective of a visitor to Bodywise. There were all sorts of things going on. I had my first Reiki session (which was incredibly relaxing). Plus there was awesome mulled apple juice and mince pies :).
The Yoga For Cyclists session was a bit on the short side. Surprisingly empty too, although that might have just been my impression as we were in a much bigger room than usual. The Thursday evenings are generally cramped and crowded whereas this one felt spacious and empty. Thinking about it, there was probably the same number of people as usual. About half were regulars I think, the others were new. So hopefuly some new recruits for the next set of Thursday sessions.
It was mostly back bends of varying descriptions. Some easier than others. Although, looking around today and in other sessions, I seem to have a different idea of what is easy or not compared to a lot of other people! Tight hamstrings seems to be a given or cyclists, but other stuff just seems random. Pose A is fine but pose B is bordering on agony. Whereas others seem to find it the other way around. Everyone is different I guess.
