Sometimes one just needs a good stretch.
For several months my main form of exercise was a few miles
of walking each day. I love walking so this is perfect for me since I can be in
silence and meditate or I can listen to one of my favorite podcasts or books
and learn a little something.
About a month ago, my friend Elisa invited me to go to yoga
with her in a nearby town. I love it. I’ve done yoga for years and used to be a
regular at a yoga place in St. Pete. Unfortunately the price got a little out
of hand and I just could pay the $20 a session. I did yoga at home and I still
do from time to time to help calm my nerves. I wanted to see what yoga would be
like in a conservative community since it is not only a physical and mental
practice, but a spiritual one as well (which can fit in with all other
beliefs).
It is different here with more emphasis on the physical and
pushing some limits that I am not used to, but all-in-all I like it. The
hardest part of going to yoga is “going to yoga” since the class is at 6:15
(still early) and outside is pitch black and cold! I will push through this and
reap the benefits of this wonderful class.
I have even started taking my practice at home more
seriously so that I can have the full experience of body, mind and spirit.
