Ashtanga Kicked My Butt

So. I like to think I'm in good shape. I work out. I lift weights. I do yoga three to four times a week.

Then I took this ashtanga yoga class last night at Yoga People here in Brooklyn Heights. It wasn't even the full primary series and I was sweating like a pig by the end. Plus, I can't do full lotus--my thigh muscles are so stiff my knee juts out about six inches from the floor. Sigh.
