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!
