Went to a new yoga class today – life is good.

It was the most, wonderful day of the YEAR!!  Not really, but you get the gist… kids were back in school and I got a little break, so it must have been somewhat wonderful!  It’s amazing how much I can get done when it’s just me around without any distractions or competing needs. 

I went to try a new Yoga class today and really loved being there. I LOVE yoga and for some reason, I forget. Do you ever do that? Where you really love doing something or eating something and then you just don’t do it or eat it for a long time and then you remember how much you loved it??  Duh…like Magic Bars – have you ever had one of those? I just remembered how much I love those too, but I didn’t have one today.

When I’m doing yoga, I am so relaxed and then really enjoy the workout and stretching and breathing. Breathing is really important and you don’t usually think about your breathe, but it sure feels good when you do.  When I’m there, I think of all my friends that also love yoga and who I’ve done yoga with before. It’s an individual practice, but sharing the practice creates connections that I think about when I’m on my own. Today’s class was taught in Dutch, in a small studio with candles and incense, soft lighting and soft music in a heated room with no mirrors and a few windows. It was very peaceful. The teacher would sometimes speak in English for me, but it was easy to follow along.  It’s possible that I might even learn some Dutch along the way.  Afterwards, she served everyone who wanted to stay a cup of warm tea. It was a nice way to end the practice and rehydrate.  

I’m definitely going to go back again, as long as I don’t forget! 😉

How was your day, honey?  

Namaste
