there will be a fish

I probably would like Ashtanga! Vinyasa is clearly a lot like Ashtanga, since it tends to be paced on breath as well, but I get the impression there's a little more freedom to move at your own pace/breath in Vinyasa. Plus the routine is just whatever the instructor or you feel like doing. I tend to breathe faster than most people (except when I'm breathing much slower and deeper), so I sometimes end up moving faster, but that's something that's usually just fine in Vinyasa. I'm actually at the point where I belong in intermediate/all-level classes, which is frankly ASTONISHING to me, because I've only been doing this on the regular for maybe four or five months. And not even all that regularly, to be honest. But today the instructor in the intermediate class I (er, accidentally) went to had us doing three-legged down dog to three-legged plank with one foot stacked on the other, and I was *fine*.

I suppose I shouldn't be that amazed that my body, when doing something regularly, actually becomes good at that thing, but I am!
