In the beginning I am always stiff, can’t get the breathing right, my thoughts are elsewhere: is my foot in the right place? What shall I cook for dinner? Must remember to buy toothpaste? – and other thoughts go through my head. After 10 minutes I was gone.. Forgot about the world and it was just me there, and my breath and my body. Wonderful feeling. Almost a bit spoilt, when do you ever just concentrate on yourself? Not often, there are always people around, things you have to do/say/fix. In yoga you can’t – you have to be present - if you don’t you fall over. It is just utter bliss to be hanging out with yourself, stretching in positions you really did not think you could, getting a bit further every time, breathing...
I feel at peace. I have faith. I feel very happy.
