It is almost 2.5 years since I have started this blog. I started this blog in order to learn more about yoga and to pen down my experiences through this journey. There were times when I used to write every second day or so and at times the blog was ignored for a month.Also, after the birth of my second baby I took a big break from writing this blog. Reason being, I was not discovering anything new. Also during this pregnancy break I had almost given up yoga. I am not a qualified teacher and hence I decided to refrain from any yoga poses. As half knowledge can be a big risk.
I stopped doing Asthanga yoga, instead replaced it with mild walks and slight exercise. At times even walks were missing because of my job, tiredness and many a times excuses. However, I had noticed that my mood swings were more sans yoga. The pregnancy hormones couldn’t be ruled out too. But what if, I would had continued yoga. I am sure, things would be little if not much better.
Also, the inertia to start yoga again especially Asthanga is too high.My body is out of shape, there is a bulge tummy which irritates me and not to ignore the heavy hips. I feel guilty if I eat anything sweet or even have a slice of cake. Drinking ginger tea (which I love the most), is a continuous guilt trip. Every day I promise myself to reduce its quantity but I always fail. And then guilt trip starts all over again. When I was doing yoga, I was eating mindfully and there was no guilt trip. Mood swings were low too.
Celebrating Life
So here I am back to square one with same type of body and energy which I had pre-yoga.However I don’t want to stay here anymore.Also the most important thing that I want to change right now is to control my emotions.Hence my new journey will be about Yoga, breathing exercise and controlling one’s mind.I am too passionate about this and hope to bring something useful for everyone to share and learn. I want this life journey to be memorable with good events rather than with bad moods.So,let’s come together and celebrate this beautiful journey called life.
