Learning A New Discipline

LEARNING A NEW DISCIPLINE


I always heard about yoga, pilates, meditation, you name it; but I never really felt like trying one of them because they seem so complicated.



Thissummer, I decided myself finally to try it. So I entered the yoga studio not knowing what to expect. It was like going to a new school. I was hoping that the instructor would be kindand soft spoken. For some reason a nice voice helps me to stay relaxed in situations like this. I thought to myself and asked, “How did I get myself into this?” the thought of meeting newpeople that share the same interest was pretty cool. So I checked my coat and bag to the front reception desk. I decided to keep my flip flops and cool new yoga mat that I had purchasedjust for the occasion. Looking and wandering around the center, I found the elevator and in the elevator standing patiently was a woman wearing somewhat of a yoga outfit, holding her maton her shoulders. I looked at my mat and thought, darn; I should’ve bought a mat that could be carried on my shoulders! So I followed behind her, hoping she would lead me right to theyoga studio. And when I entered in the room, Whoa! It was like being in a new dimension; I couldn’t believe how peaceful it made me feel. It was huge, for the most part, and there werecandles lit in the corners of the room. I didn’t know this yoga studio would be so amazing. And more than that, all the energy flowing around there was unique. So we started the class, andeven though was an hour class, it went fast, and it was so enjoyable. We did a few respiration exercises, and after that I started to stretch out. It felt like a big connection betweenmy brain and my body. Like all those complicated-looking poses weren’t anything like that anymore. In fact, it was a fun, great experience that I take it seriously now as a lifestyle.
