"The yoga mat is a good place to turn when talk therapy and antidepressants aren't enough." ~ Amy Weintraub

Today was another morning of yoga!! I swear it's like I get so excited to go in...and its so hard to relax and settle in and CONCENTRATE. It has taken 4 months to finally figure out how to swing my arms into Eagle pose and now I'm just working on getting my legs to follow. I'm now on a quest to get my body to learn how to do a Standing Bow pose. It's so elegant and strong. I can only get into and keep the pose for about 10 seconds and then I go flailing to the side. I can see my foot over my head and to me that's a miracle. I actually wish I could take a picture of myself doing that pose every month to see how I progress. I was telling Adrianne that yoga is one of few things that I have a real commitment too. I don't see it as just exercise. I see it as my therapy. In the past few months I feel like I love myself again. WELL, a lot of times I do have a "its all about me" attitude...but now..its different. I'm not sure if I can really explain it. Without Yoga I see the anxiety, stress, panic attacks running towards me. I wish I had found this studio when it first opened. I've had so many "moments" in class that left me crying on my mat...or made me want to run out of my class to text or call someone (and yes I have text or left messages on Facebook with sweat dripping on my phone. I can't explain this...but all I know is that as long as Bikram is near me..I don't want to leave. Have a great Friday everyone!!!
