Inspired & Motivated...

After 7 (count 'em...seven!) years of attempting, thinking and contemplating yoga and meditation, I am officially beginning.

I am starting with a free course in Raja Yoga Meditation at this wonderful studio, right around the corner. I will start on the 21st and then begin Level 1-2 yoga after returning from our trip. I cannot wait.

And I need this. Probably more than ever. Since I have a history of panic, anxiety and even depression, I believe that this is will be one of the most crucial changes to helping me cope. I will use this blog to document my progress.

Is anybody out there starting something new? Tell me what you're up to!

Here in the US we have Hot Yoga(Bikram yoga) classes- yoga in very hot rooms + it's soooo wonderful. I generally go with friends (who drive) one day a week to the big city (Nashville, Tennessee) to take a class, but next month they are offering it at a studio walking distance from my house.

Besides all the stress relieving benefits of yoga, the thing I love is that it does not bulk you up- long, lean muscles.

Yoga is wonderful, it's a good thing to take up for the new year.

Good luck with the yoga, you will love it. I have been doing it on and off for about years. In fact my new years resolution is to make sure I do at least 10mins a day, no matter what. It always leaves me so centred.
