Yogi path

My first yoga practice was on 2012 with my dear Isa. I was amazed. This would be the first of many practices. I always thought one day I would change my attention to something new. It had been like this for a long time. Surprisingly or not I’ve discovered that when it comes to yoga, I’m pretty faithful.

Nevertheless, I’m not the student that practises 6 days a week.

I’m not the student that takes the time to breath and accepts the difficulties easily.

I’m not the student that practises no matter what, despite wishing I was.

I’m not disciplined and my mind takes the best of me most of the times.

Well, I am who I am and if yoga is a way of acknowledging who we are, I guess that accepting my limits is part of the process. Accepting that limits exist but also accepting that I can overcome those limits.

Nothing is what it seems. We can see the physical improvement but it is harder to realize the internal changes. Have you ever had that “click” moment when you know that something has changed inside you, but you do not know exactly what?

I’ve had a few of these moments. Some made me smile, others made my anxiety rise. With time, I’ve understood that this is all natural the same way that our body can be more or less flexible depending on the days.

This is yoga! This is life!

And this is also the time for introspection and contemplation, very appropriated considering that autumn rains are finally arriving.

It is a new season.

It is a new chance and new chances bring new opportunities.

It is a new step on the yogi path, the moment when we start realizing who we are deep inside and who we are is our best self.
