Yoga

Why did I wait nearly 42 years to find out I love yoga?  I’ve been practicing since January and I am truly in love.  It brings me peace.  It calms my mind.  It takes away those nagging worries that otherwise keep me awake at night.  And it strengthens my body as a bonus.

I have had high blood pressure since my early 30’s and started taking medication daily around 34.  So for nearly 8 years I’ve been popping pills to regulate my system and keep things as they should be.  But not any more.  I haven’t had to take my meds since March.  What is different you ask?  Yoga. My doctor is a bit puzzled as to what is happening and why I now have textbook blood pressure readings.  But he tells me to keep doing what I’m doing because it is obviously working for me.

I am starting a 6 week Mind Body Blitz on Monday and I can’t wait. Committing to practicing yoga 6 days a week is exactly what I need to keep me focused and dedicated.  I already practice 3 or 4 times a week anyway so this will just extend me that little bit more.  I’m sure I will update along the way so you can all read how I’m getting on with it.

Life is good!
