Not only did I do yoga to be happy again, but I also sat down and - with the most open mind, I had available at that moment - I asked myself: What is it that you REALLY want for yourself in life? I was ready to do ANYTHING - even if it would have meant that the yoga-thing was just a weird phase...
And I found out that yoga, YOGA ! is the one thing I want to be doing in my life - I want to do it, I want to teach it, I want to read about it, I want to travel with it! How wonderful! :-)
Sometimes in life, we come to points, where we need drastic questions to get back on track - almost as if we would grab ourselves by the shoulders and say: "Hey! Look at me! WHAT is it, that you WANT?" It can be scary - we can be put in a position where we need to change things or even hurt people. And yet there's nothing more valuable, than coming to terms with ourselves! How else would we enable ourselves to live from our very own truth?!
In yoga, those moments of "WHAT is it that you want?" come in a different shape: they say "BE WHO YOU ARE! BE HONEST!" Moments where we are asked by our body to accept and come to terms with where we are at right now. No hyperextention to get into a difficult pose, no sluggishness to not have to work so hard - we are where we are. And wherever we are/who ever we are is GOOD!
(And so are all the people around us, but that's another chapter...)
And here are some pictures from the weeks 16 to 18, that I still owe you ;-):
