YOGA

Can I just say how much I absolutely love going to Yoga!?

I started attending classes a few months before going to Treatment, as a way to grasp some time where I could just BE. Shut my brain OFF, and listen to the silence and the sound of my own breathing.

At Rodger’s they offered Yoga but it was for 30 minutes, once a week. NOT enough time to REALLY get into it.

For the last 4 months, I’ve tried to go almost every day, and have pretty much succeeded. Its MY time. MY hour of ME time. An hour of nothing but focusing on breathing, stretching, and just being. Focusing on WHAT my body can DO, rather than what it LOOKS like.

THAT is why you won’t find me in a gym anytime soon.

I think we spend too much time as a society in a whole, focusing on what our bodies look like on the outside, rather than what’s on the inside… Our hearts and our minds are JUST as important, IF not MORE! 💗

My main focus on going to Yoga to be quite honest, is to shut that little chirpy voice up; the one that always seems to be running on a Duracell battery, IN my mind…spewing at the mouth, hissing lies of Vanity, creating lists and never ending things that need to get done. Ug! When on my mat, that voice gets gagged. It’s SILENT for the hour that I’m there….

Did I also mention, that I can actually bend over and touch my toes!? I’m more flexible now, then I think I ever was, even when I was in gymnastics. Okay, so I can’t do the splits anymore, but I can do a lot of balancing poses and stretching poses, that help me not to feel like I’m 90 years old in the morning, LOL!

If you’ve never considered giving Yoga another thought, I encourage you to do so! Get over any insecurity you may have with your body, and just GO. Trust me, you will thank me!
