Beginner Yogi ☾

Lately I cannot help but feel overwhelmingly grateful for Yoga and the importance it is in my life. I remember first starting out and wanting to know how to do all of the cool poses, but after a month or so of Jims class I realized I loved Yoga for the mental aspects. My mind was changing. I was happier, more energetic, apologetic, patient, kind... I was just become a better version of myself!

Recently my life got uber busy with work, family, holidays, cleaning and everything in between. I was uneasy, grouchy, bitter and NOT HAPPY. I needed to take a step back and really dig into my emotions and understand why I was being this way. I thought about it for a quick second before coming to the conclusion that I had not been faithfully practicing Yoga like I had before. Infact, I had not done any sort of yoga for over a MONTH! I know! I could hardly believe it either!

I have picked up my practice and I can tell you already... I am my better me again! It's funny how you'll hear fellow yogis talk about being 'enlightened' and finding your 'true self' I never really understood until going through this mini trial in my life. I have found my true self, and I feel enlightened. Yoga has opened so many mental doors for me. I don't pretend to be perfectly happy, or content ALL the time. I know that's unrealistic. Once you realize these things you can truly be lifted up, and set free from your mental locks.

Right now I am working on opening my Chakras. I am working on my Root Chakra at the moment, and boy- I did not realize how difficult opening just ONE Chakra would be.
