Tried Yoga expecting one thing, found something completely different

I signed up for Yoga expecting a straightforward fitness class. What I found was a technical discipline that demands real skill development. The pranayama breathwork I was shown in week one is still something I'm refining now, 17 months later. drishti gaze point gave me a framework for understanding why things work, not just what to do.

the mental stillness of a strong yin practice was the surprise that hooked me. wrist pain before building sufficient strength was the reality check that made me respect the sport. The yoga towel is worth the investment — don't cut corners. I came for fitness and found a practice. That's a much better outcome.
