Choose Roller Skating if…

Before you commit

Roller Skating

  • Falling onto a wrist or hip before anything resembles gliding would deter you.
  • The lurching sense your feet have their own opinions would unnerve you.
  • You want a result you can fake on day one, not balance that arrives slowly.

Yoga

  • Shaking through a held pose and counting breaths would put you off.
  • You want it always serene, not sweaty, humbling, and uncooperative hamstrings.
  • Comparing yourself to the person on the next mat would discourage you.
