Yoga Blog’s First Birthday

Sep 16th, 2012 by Gary Kahn in About Yoga

Tammy,

This is the one year anniversary of my blog.  I wonder what posts people have liked the best.

I guess yesterday was a good example of my yoga experience over the past year.  It was raining while I was driving to an outdoor yoga class and I was wondering why I was going.  I felt I would probably get sick and not be able to do yoga for a while.   I feared that my mat would become slippery and I would slip and fall and get injured.  When the class started the teacher immediately ran us through some sun salutations and warrior poses.  I felt drops of water on my mat and soon realized they were sweat, not rain drops.  The rain and everything else had evaporated from my mind except the pose we were doing.  Soon enough there was no rain from the sky.  The sun even came out.

As far as my progress in yoga, I show up every week.  I don’t do any homework.  Outside of  class, I don’t think much about yoga.   Is it possible I don’t really care much about yoga?  What’s the irony here?  I’m getting better at yoga.  I can now do the crow and full wheel poses.

Maybe I shouldn’t try or think about other things and they’ll get better.  Maybe I’ll start with relationships.  What do you think?

The Yoga Sutra’s teach us that a practice done with zeal and for a long period of time brings results…You are doing the work my friend and it is starting to pay off!!!!! See you on the mat!

  • Dear Gary, The true question is…. Are you happier doing yoga, now a year later? If the answer is yes – nothing else matters, keep doing what you are doing. Laugh – love – live – get on your yoga mat whenever & where ever the wind blows you and ENJOY ! Hugs and happiness – Tammy
