My new found passion

I've been meaning to write about this for days now because it has truly become very important in my life and for some reason or another I have neglected to do so. I want to share it with all you who read this because it is my intention that it will impact some of you and motivate you. I am absolutely passionate about yoga. For the past 2 1/2 weeks I have been going to yoga classes everyday without fail and the more I go the more I fall in love with it. Now, I will not attempt to teach you about yoga, because well that would be silly, but there are lots of misleading interpretations about what yoga really is. You will say, 2 weeks, that's nothing, but it has truly changed my life forever. I think its very true, the hard part is getting people to go and join in a yoga practice, the easy part is getting them to come back. Yoga in itself means, unifying. It is a very free NON-religious practice that allows a person to unify themselves with whatever they are lacking, unify with a God of their choosing, unifiy body and mind, unify sould and body, anything anything. This is achieved through the continous practice of excersises, breathing and a healthy positive mind. I will say that it is challenging, the biggest drive to continue practicing yoga is motivation, dedication and a want to see more of something in this world; love, joy, equality, peace, etc. It is not only healthy for the body because you learn to stretch and find your limits, it is incredibly spiritual, I strongly believe in the spiritual sense of things...life, so yoga was immediatly attractive to me. It allows a person to rid of negative thoughts and feelings through its practice, it allows a person to release tension and open their heart, it brings such a big sense of connection between the mind and the body that you begin to understand how your body works, how it is made up, how it moves and how far it can move. Finally it allows for a different perception in thinking, to see things in a different light is not always easy, yoga, emphasizes that a simple smile can change the way our mind percieves (SP?) a situation. I absolutely adooore it, I am addicted to it, and I have a crush on one of the teachers, he's only taught my class twice though, I still think he is really good looking...but anyway, that's not why I go, I seriously encourage everyone to go out and find a Yoga Studio, find some information about yoga, don't be afraid of it, EVERY SINGLE PERSON of any age that does not have a health problem, can do it and learn and be guided through some sort of yoga practice. Thinking that you can't do positions should not limit you, I guarantee that after your first class you will notice the change and be intrigued by how much you can learn.
I seriously plan my life around my yoga practice so that I don't have to miss a day of class and it has helped greatly physically, mentally and spiritually.
Go out, practice yoga!, be a happier healthier you!!!
