December Yoga Experience: Day 5


“A bird doesn’t sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song.” ~ Maya Angelou

Wow, I have done yoga 4 days in a row! Go me! And then my expectations creep in: Why are my hips still tight? Why is it hard for me to focus today? Is this even working? 🙂

Good thing I went to Kimberly’s class, because she answered all my questions when she read the above quote during practice. I’m not doing yoga to get answers; I’m singing my song. I’m not there to loosen my hips, I’m there to breath.

And then I looked across the room, and I saw my dear friend Angelina in this fierce warrior pose. So beautiful, so strong, so committed to her stance. She was singing her song, and I could feel it.

I felt so inspired by her, that I refocused myself and began to sing my song.
