Comfort Zone


I like living in my comfort zone, I don't need to jump off cliffs to feel the excitement of life. My husband loves downhill mountain biking because he likes the feeling of being almost out of control reaching past his comfort zone.
Starting yoga was out of my comfort zone, I spent far too much time worrying about what "others" would think, or how silly I looked. I went out of my comfort zone and discovered that I loved yoga, loved the instructor, loved the studio. Last week my instructor announced that she was selling her studio and taking a much needed break. Now I am back to feeling like I need to step out of my new yoga comfort zone and try something new. Maybe it will just be the new instructor, and maybe I will love her as much as I love my current one. Maybe I will hate the way she teaches, or runs the studio and will have to go further out of my comfort zone and find a new place.  Yoga has become an important part of my life, and I am learning to embrace change and taking those baby steps out of my comfort zone.

It's Been a While.


It has been a while since I posted, it has been a while since I have been to yoga and I need to get back. I can tell a big difference in my body when I neglect to go to yoga. It is amazing how fast I start to loose what I have worked so hard to gain.  My mind starts switching over from thinking that I love yoga to humm maybe I don't. I will make it a priority to get back to yoga this week, I like it when I crave to go.  Walking into that hot room, setting my mat out in my favorite spot and adjusting it just so. Sitting down and stretching before class starts and clearing my mind, relaxing and not worrying about what is going on outside of the yoga room walls. Yes, I will be back to yoga next week.
