Taking on a new postition.

Last week I decided to try out something new. Yoga was my new adventure and I can truly say that it is an experience I will be carrying on with for as long as I can. Yoga has always seemed like such an abstract thing to do. I have always been interested in trying it out but have never really had the money, since it is quite pricey. A friend of mine and her mother invited me to join them for yoga at their house; where a yoga instructor did private lessons with them. I thought it was a great idea since the price was reasonable and I had always wanted to. Lit up the candles set the mood in their living room and the green and blue yoga mats were laid out. Yoga is a Hindu practice and very spiritual; it feels refreshing and not weird though. We use the Hindu names when referring to the positions and we do the whole meditation “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMM” thing to. I have actually learned a lot about Hindu culture from the yoga instructor and it is really interesting the way that you learn to control your body and give so much time and effort to the body and its wonders.

Yoga feels as if you are giving something back to your body for all the hard work it does for you. You do it with your mind and body and no one else. There is a peace that flows over you and I have never felt so relaxed. The stretches are difficult and the body gets a work out but the strain that your muscles go through is wonderful. You twist in ways that not even a pretzel could but it is such an amazing feeling when you are finished a session.
