simple change
Three days ago I started doing yoga (again) daily. It feels good. It feels right. (It also feels like I’ve lost a lot of flexibility, but I know that’ll come back quickly.) And it certainly raises the question of why I haven’t before, when I’ve believed for quite a while that a regular yoga practice would most likely get rid of my elbow, back and stomach problems. Not to mention it can bring my abs back from strong to apparent. Why do I (we?) resist change when change can only lead to good things? Well, because it implies a change, which means work. I guess. The same applies to those breakfasts (i.e. fruit) I’ve been eating for over three weeks. It took pain for me to change there, coupled with a strong belief that I was making a change for the best and for myself. A lot more needs to change in my lifestyle, but I’ll go at it gradually until I’m ready (and then? blam!). For yoga the issue also was that I’m not yet ready to design my own routines, and I much prefer taking classes. In my neighborhood and at hours that suit me however, nothing is really available and practical. So I simply dug up a copy of a DVD I had and started doing it. I also found Yoga on Demand, which actually looks wonderful. Or would be… if I had room for a yoga mat in front of my computer screen, which I don’t. I’m very much looking forward to the yoga game for Wii being released (because I have serious issues with the Wii Fit yoga postures, some of which are plain wrong). My gut feeling, though? Yoga on Demand might be the way for me.
