What could Happen?





This was the question. I asked it of myself in rebuff to the internal negativity I was feeling when I considered committing myself to a year of Yoga.
So what can happen? Follow me as I compel myself to do or attend yoga daily for 365 days in a row. I suspect the journey shall be interesting.

5/365

Did the noon class today. Packed again. Great to see Yoga hit the resolutions list for many.
It was a great class but I really had difficulty staying present. It leave me wondering, if I am too stimulated at this time of day do I simply chose another or do I need to slow my mind down at this time if it will not of its own accord? Hmmm. Well I have 360 days to discover the answer so I will at some time let you know.
I was picked  to be one of 114 people from 6 continents doing a 50 day Philosophers Notes challenge.
Very cool and I am truly excited. I was picked out of over 2000 applicants so I really do feel fortunate and excited...oh did I say that already!

    That's great that you are doing the PN challenge. I've been following Brian since he started Zaadz back in the day. He is such an amazing guy.

    Glad to see you're able to attend class and work through your injury. I want to add some yoga to my routine soon, to balance out the soreness from lifting.

    Keep us posted on the PN challenge, please. :)

    Hmm, that's interesting about being stimulated at noon. I find it hard to practice at that time too. I think there are many factors involved, one of which may be the fact that the classes you've been going to all seem to be packed! If it's possible for your schedule, you might want to try the 9:30 am classes. They're always less full and it might be easier for your brain to slow down if it's closer to when you woke up.

    That being said, this is all part of the practice of yoga. The first step is the awareness of what's going on...there are so many people out there who wouldn't even NOTICE that they were feeling unfocused. The second step is to not feed into that awareness, ie. you feel unfocused and start thinking about being unfocused. The practice is to notice your unfocused state and then try to just let it go.

    Easier said than done, but that's why it's called a practice right? :)
