Before traveling to Cyprus, I was doing yoga 4-6 times a week. A recent knee injury was preventing me from running and yoga became the next best thing. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to find a yoga studio in Larnaca. Most appeared online as closed or poorly advertised. I found a studio called YogaByK which has several reviews and photos. The website was also updated minus one of the time slots on Tuesdays. I walked 1.3 miles from the Blazer to attend a 10am class. Once I arrived at the location, I could not find the actual studio. I looked around for about 10 minutes and by this point class had started. I messaged the studio online explaining what happened. They responded with, “Hi class is at 18:30. Really sorry you came for nothing it seems it’s not corrected on the website. Time schedule is what’s it’s written except Tuesday morning 10am.” Which was good and bad news. I eventually found that I needed to be buzzed into an apartment building to access the studio. I decided I would try and attend the 18:30 class later that day. I made it and the class was very enjoyable and different from my typical classes in Denver. The movements included slow deep stretches that I was not used to. After spending 4 mornings in a row bent over in the heat digging, spending 90 minutes stretching my body felt great and well needed. For the remainder of the trip, I will be attending two yoga classes a week.
