Just Breathe

I had an amazing night reconnecting with myself and others at my first yoga class in about 6 months. I have been doing my own practice but it is just not the same as sharing a space, uniting yourselves in breath and pose. You feel so calm and quiet yet so supported and connected with others that you don't even know.

I just love to close my eyes and hear the rhythm of my breath. The deep inhale filling my lungs and pulsing through the rest of my body. Bringing in goodness and life, and then the exhale releasing and purging. Then they rhythm of breath and pose, linking the body and breath as one, moving through sequences with grace and strength. I've forgotten the feeling and have missed it.

I feel good and strong. I feel calm and at peace. Tonight I will sleep well with a smile on my lips. Tomorrow I hope I can pick up my baby..... my arms are going to be sore.

namaste and good night
