LOL.
I am so not a Yogi.
Or even aspire to be one.
But I have come to love yoga, especially the hot, sweaty kind.
I signed up at my yoga studio for the 31 in 31 challenge for January.
31 classes in 31 days (all of January).
Six days done and only 25 to go! (the math on that is right, right?)
Yoga and yoga classes, have become to me, like one giant A-HA moment.
They come fast and furious (that doesn’t sound right…). The A-HA moments, I mean, of course. 
I’m like freaking Oprah, yelling ‘A-HA’ every few minutes.
In my head at least, I don’t think the people in class would appreciate my Oprah-esque outbursts.
Taylor Wells, one of the founders of Prana Power Yoga where I go, says that your yoga mat is like a mirror.
I find the whole thing is like a mirror! The class, the workout, the spirituality aspect, the mat, the sweating, everything. I am continually looking at myself and into myself each class. It is not always pretty, but I am learning a lot about my tendencies, my nutbagginess, and how to be at peace with (at least) some of it. As well as how to be at peace with others and what others do and do not do.
So, for example, today’s A-HA moment was this:
I get so completely distracted by what others are doing. And as a result I become off balance. Happened today in class, I fell over as I was looking at someone else’s much better half-moon. This happens in my everyday life as well. Busying myself up with what others are doing, is distracting and puts me off balance in many ways.
And IRONICALLY, as I am writing this, I have forgotten some other really good a-ha moments because I have being looking on the web, and texting, and tweeting, while I am writing.
Hmmmm…..
A-HA!
Any experiences in yoga you would like to share?
Do below!
Thanks!
Love,
