I went to a yoga class involving 108 sun salutations to mark the summer solstice. This is what I learned:

2 Your hamstrings will not thank you. Indeed they may not speak to you for several days 

3 Afterwards when you’re struggling for something positive to say to the teacher you’ll manage “That was tough”. She will reply “So powerful too”. And you will make a sound that could be interpreted as agreement, but your eyes will tell a different story

5 You will make a mental note never to do this again
