This is what I know now….about yoga.
I used to practice it. I used to practice yoga a lot. I was as flexible as I was strong. I was student of the month at my studio. I completed challenges. I rarely missed a day. But…I didn’t know why.
When I practiced Bikram yoga on a daily basis several years ago, I loved the way it made me feel physically. When I was in a room that was 105 degrees for 90 minutes, I really didn’t have time to worry, fear or think. All I cared about was making it through 90 minutes. And when the class was over, it was absolute bliss to feel the fresh air. My body felt exhausted, yet renewed at the same time.
When I decided to start working out from home, I stopped taking yoga classes. I quit my membership. What was my home away from home was no longer. And it was my decision to make this transition with the notion that I would eventually get back to it. I just didn’t realize it would be nearly six years.
Sometimes you have to let go of things to realize how grateful you are to have them.
