When Yoga makes you Live

I needed yoga today more than I could have imagined. I am in a blissed out state right now because of the yoga class I took. There are so many elements to how this class manifested in my soul. First it was in the studio that my entire yoga career started. I felt at first lost for not being a part of it anymore. I felt like a stranger in a place I once felt as home. Then I was just there. My day unfolded, my life released. I have been feeling an overwhelming build up for the new life I am in the middle of creating and exploring and I haven't been to my mat. Tonight I was surrounded by my community of yogis that I have know and loved for years, friends that I cherish and have made a difference in my life. I was able to do a practice of yoga that I have done for years and it felt great to check out on a physical level and just be there without any thinking involved. I realized that its so easy to get caught up in judgements and concepts that we believe in. My whole thing about being a yogini is to live with a light heart. Tonights class taught me that I have gotten disconnected with what I live by. It's still there in my soul but I have let the little things consume me. No matter the challenges that we face in life what is it that we live for? And what do we do to reconnect to that? I am committed to make sure that even when I am so busy and I have many things that demand my attention that I remember to connect with what in life fires me up, what I live for. So grateful to be alive and on this journey and continuing to learn and grow. Cheers to yoga and how it can change your day.
