Twice a week before going to work, I offer myself a selfish moment of freedom just for me and I jump out of my bed – not always fresh and ready – at 6am to go to my power yoga class. I like yoga more and more. I know it’s good for my body, I learn again how to breathe and I’m even good to my soul … And by the end of the class, I thank my body and spirit to be alert and dynamic! Got to love yourself from time to time and to say it no ?!
So last week, I was pushing open the door of the studio and found myself face to face with another yogi – and yes that’s the way our guru names us, awesome right ?! – And I staired petrified facing a lady who at 6am had already a total combo makeup eye shadow/mascara/blush/lipstick !! I admit I was super surprised and her image is engraved in my head. It’s true I love yoga but at 6am in the morning, I’m still a bit sleepy but her, not at all because she took the time to apply a full makeup – what time did she wake up? I confess I wonder how we can wake up so early to exercise as I forgot to tell you that the room in which we practice is heated … Meaning that after 10 minutes of “heated power yoga “I am more sweaty than after running 5 miles down here in Miami where the temperature is crazy high! And yes power yoga rocks … Too bad, I forgot to check her at the end of the class! I have to say that I wonder how this little lady can wear make-up to come to improve her body and not seem like a big droop after 5 minutes …
It’s true that Colleen and I have often passed by runners wearing full makeup! And we always ask ourselves how they can stand that…
What about you! Are you an adept of wearing full makeup to practice sports or exercise?
