Return to Renew

Made it back to class yesterday for the first time in a week an a half. The holidays didn't even afford me the time to go in my basement and roll out my mat and do anything.

The strangest thing happen to me. While we were doing some standing splits my quads began shaking uncontrollably. I tried to stay with it but I had to fall out. I was going deeper trying to make up for lost time from the holidays and my non-practice. I like taking things to the edge, but with yoga you tend to have to find the balance, literally and metaphorically. I was out of balance both in my position and what I want to achieve in class. When you push an edge you sometimes lose your balance and have to pull back.

This new year I am looking to renew my commitment to finding balance in my life both on and off the mat and bring my yoga practice to all aspects of my life.
