no wonder why people love yoga so much

I’ve practiced yoga very sporadically through my years. I’ve always been a smash-em up beat-em up soccer playin’ booty shakin’ and runner kind of girl. I typically prefer to be more mover, shaker, sweat it out- than quiet and still, but recently I’ve added a big helping of yoga to my weekly diet.

I’m loving my ohmmmmm…in the mix of my typical go, go go work outs. I like how different the classes can be depending on the instructor. (There’s quite a variety at my current gym.) At the end of class this morning during shavasana, instructor Sarah suggested us to place one hand on our heart, the other on our stomach. I followed, lying there listening to my breath. Sarah continued: “The only things you need are the ones under your hands right now.”

Well hot diggidy dog Sarah!

I felt a smile come across my face. Brilliant!- I thought. My heart and “gut”- those two things I have always followed, the ones that’ve never steered me wrong. The two best friends a girl could have and really all she (me, you, anyone) needs. So true.

Lesson for the day?

If you are questioning anything, looking for clarity, struggling about a choice on something- put one hand on your heart, the other on your belly and listen to what those two tell you. They will always give you the right answer.

Isn’t it nice to have your two best friends right there with you no matter where you go?

Namaste.
