I've always wanted to be "yoga girl." You know, the girl who wears the yoga pants with the middy t-shirt, wearing stylish flip-flops and looking beautiful without make-up, hair tousled in a loose ponytail.
My problem is, it's a great concept, not so great an application for me. For one, I'm the kind of person that wants to lose weight before I go to a yoga class, which is one of the reason I want to start yoga. Plus, it requires discipline, which I am sorely lacking.
But I think that's all about to change. Why? Because it has to. Over that last couple of months, I have developed sciatic problems, which are constant during the day and really flare up at night. Which makes me feel really old. Like saying I have hemorroids, or a goiter.
But just like all the other aspects of recovery that I am going through, I need to do what's best for my health, and it's finally a priority. So I found a great website at www.abc-yoga-.com, which not only describes the poses, but actually has a little animation to help you along. In the privacy of my own home, I plan on becoming my own yoga girl.
In due time, I will brave a public appearance, but for now, I pose alone.

Yoga is great!
ReplyDeleteIf ever you need a partner whose face turns all red and purple-y, whose butt sweats, and who looks completely awkward and inadequate yet STILL really loves yoga, I'm here!
Love,
Sadie
The wii has a yoga class, too. You could do it at home and laugh at your Mii. :)
ReplyDeleteI think yoga can be a really great class and practice. :) Congrats for finding something that you want to use in your life in a positive, healthy way.

ReplyDeleteThank you!. I began this as a course of written therapy for me, and hopefully as support for anyone that may be going through the same thing. I'm happy to share anything that I have gone through to help someone else find peace!
