Getting back into Yoga
 

It’s been a couple years now but I remember when I started doing Yoga classes. One of my friends (who I also worked with) attended a Yoga class that was free on Tuesdays. It was a full hour and fifteen minutes and it was for anybody that wanted to give it a shot. So deciding that I wanted to give it a shot I attended the class. I remember walking in, getting a synopsis of what we were doing and then paying $5 for a protein shake after the workout was done. From there you went next door into this wide open space. Music was playing and people we inside stretching and just chatting with others who attended the class. 

The first time I attended I ended up loving it. The challenge, the life lessons, the idea that you can send positive energy to others and receive energy back was something that really stuck with me. The instructor was amazing and she made sure that the class was for people of all levels. She gave you different ways to do a pose and made sure to interact with the people who were in her class. She didn’t just stay at the front, she would come on the floor and just pick a random spot and continue her teachings. If you were having a hard time getting into a pose she would come and help you out. 

I’m sure that I looked like a crazy lady because I knew that I was lightly laughing but it wasn’t because of nerves or just to scare people, it was because I found myself getting into it. Really into it. I became obsessed with trying out the hardest poses and if I couldn’t do it then I would go down a notch. 

 

When I left the class I felt like I had accomplished something I instantly knew that I was coming back. This instructor, the vibes, the message, all of it rang a bell with me and it stuck with me. 

After seven to eight months of going to the same instructor and just enjoying that hour and fifteen minutes...the studio closed. I was so upset and it became hard to try and keep up with it at home. I tried out other classes and I just couldn’t find another instructor that made me feel the way she did. 

Now, I am starting yoga back up. I’m aiming to go back to doing yoga on Tuesdays. I miss the challenge, I miss the stretching, I miss the flow of yoga. All the life lessons I learned, all the positive energy, I want that all back. I can’t wait to see what yoga will do for me and to get back in touch with myself.
