Yoga Thoughts

I notice during yoga, there are some people who just want to do one pose which is pigeon pose which opens the hips. What happens when your hips are open and pigeon is too easy? You ask for more of it? Wrong, you challenge yourself to do other poses and bring balance to your practice.

There are some poses I am working on and it is okay to ask to do the same ones but after awhile you don't get the full benefits because you ask for the same thing. Now for abs, it's okay to do it everyday because you need a strong core when you do other things.

Yoga taught me to keep going and to keep trying. Everyday is different. Just because I do well in one pose, does not mean I can do it the next day. A good example is my first handstand next to the door. I just felt like doing it and I did it.

Next couple of days? It did not happen. I couldn't do it because of factors. It's okay to take a step back and let the body adjust even if you decide to do other poses. Your body is learning to remember how to do a pose.

It's not how fast or how perfect you do a pose but to grow and expand your body. Your body is learning muscle memory and it helping people get stronger and flexible. I will say this again, for single men and women, yoga is a great way to meet other singles and to network with others. Just commit to yoga and you will love the benefits :) I love meeting single women during yoga :)
