So as the name suggest I am a
baby yogi, I’ve actually been practicing yoga for the past 10months but like
with anything new that you love you try and master it all at once, so I’ve had
many a bruised shin from tumbling over sideways or pulled muscle from thinking
I was the latest contortionist! This is why I’ve decided to take it back to
basics because my skill level now is pretty much the same as 10months ago, in fact
as soon as I bend into a ‘downward facing dog’ I’m pretty sure my muscles shrink
in fear… oh dear. In taking it from the start I intend to go where all brave yogi's dream to go... onto my head with my legs in the air.
Now I’m a big fan of motivational
quotes, inspiring pictures and reaching your goals, however I am also the
master of procrastination and justifying putting off yoga for an extra
15minutes pillow time! This is why I am inviting you to join my journey, follow
for as long or as little as you please and join in by all means. But please
excuse my rusty blog writing skills and my little ramblings while I get used to
this whole process, hopefully we’ll all get along in the end, cos' as a wise man once said 'you're only as young as your spine is flexible'.
I know everyone has their reasons for going into yoga
and I am continuously finding more but the main one really has to be that I seem
to think… a lot. Now a lot of this time I spend thinking is not necessarily
good or structured, I like to call it spontaneous thinking, sometimes my brain
gets away from me and before I know it I’m thinking of how possible it would be
for me to have super powers to never get hurt again, or fighting against some
dream problem that hasn’t even happened yet. In my head I can be a pretty negative
person and although I haven’t managed to wrap my legs behind my head yet yoga has taught me that sometimes it’s nice
not to think. And breathe... it's good to breathe.
It is safe to say I am not armed
with the best starting equipment, I have no yoga mat and I currently practice
in the space the size of large box on carpet that seems intent on making my
feet itch, but never fear I do have a little book and a gazillion podcasts by
Tara Stiles and crazy, mad determination to make this work!! So what do you
say, you in?
