Man, have I been missing out.
I recently started doing asanas again, after a... several year... hiatus. It's been about 2 years since I've taken a hatha yoga class, and maybe 4+ since I've had a regular (daily/weekly) practice. My body's been craving asanas for a long time, but I've kept myself busy with other things and kept procrastinating on starting up again.
In the meantime, I watched my physical health and diet go to hell over the last 3 years or so. I couldn't ignore the craving any more, so I've been doing some asanas every day. Trying to do about 30 minutes a day, or at the very least, several postures before bed.
And they feel sooooooooooooooo good
I won't even try to articulate how glorious it is.
But I feel like the mssing piece of the puzzle has been re-discovered. DM and the other sitting practices I do have been wonderful, but there was a physical component I needed in order to integrate my spiritual path.
Fortunately, self-pacing is not an issue right now. But if it becomes one, I'll do whatever I can to keep asanas in the mix. And DM and SBP, of course
Anyone else been in a similar place?
Thanks for reading
With Love
