Yoga is almost everywhere now. This is a good thing, it's irrevocably stupendous.  Some people, however, tell me that they are intimidated to go to a yoga class, walking in a room among youthful, pretzel twisting, lean, graceful yogis.  You will inevitably be among someone younger, stronger, more flexible, thinner, more graceful, more of everything that you might like to have and be...and there will be someone not as young, flexible, strong, lean, and graceful as you.  Judging yourself and comparing your abilities to others is a waste of time, time you could be spending on positive and productive thoughts, or less thoughts. :-)

 

Negative thoughts will inevitably bring negative things in your life, hence positive thoughts will bring positive things. So forgot about the others, and show up for yourself. What's the worst that can happen? You feel foolish?  Don't we all feel like fools at times? It's worth making the first step.  And if you don't like one style, try another. It's like fruit. If we don't like one kind, do we stop there? Everyone is on their own journey, just as you. And with great effort comes great benefit.   With any effort at all comes some benefit.  As Woody Allen says, "80% of success is showing up."

 

On my website I briefly describe Ashtanga yoga.  You can also read much more about it at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute website and at www.Ashtanga.com.

Ancient yogic wisdom reveals that if one approaches their yoga practice with dedication, zeal, and consistancy over a long period of time, the true essence of yoga unfolds and we can indeed, to quote Pattabhi Jois, "attain physical, mental and spiritual happiness." This road is nevertheless bumpy. It's one long, bumpy ride full of ditches. It's how we go through them that make a difference. Do we plow through them and damage the machinery? Maybe, sometimes. Hopefully we slow down next time, take it easier on ourselves. One focused breath, a few attentive moments in our practice. But stay on the road, or keep coming back, because after the rain, the sun will shine. And then, it will rain again...... Right now is right now, rain or shine.
