Today is my 4th day of doing morning yoga.
I am used to doing a 60-90 min session where I feel connected, relaxed and grounded afterwards but my morning sessions are limited to about 20-30 mins. Not as long to get the full benefits but enough to get me going.
Days 1 to 3...I went through my practice like a good little yogini and while I enjoyed the poses I never really got that "feeling" that made me fall in love with yoga in the first place. I started to wonder if perhaps there is no benefit to such a short session??
Day 4...today...it happened...I felt my "connection" almost immediately upon starting this morning, my breathe was instantly connected, I was completely in the moment and I was able to flow through my poses. I kept getting images of gentle waves lapping at the shoreline and lazily retreating into themselves.
Today I feel calm, aware and fully balanced. I love my bendy mornings and I'm so glad that I continued on despite not feeling the results right away. Maybe each of my morning practice's have been filling up my yoga cup and today it finally hit the top and now that it has, is spilling out,flooding my every cell and swelling up around me. Whatever and however, my yoga cup has now spillith over.
Tomorrow is a day off from work for me. My sister and I are taking the day to celebrate my grandfather's life who will have been gone 1 year tomorrow. I plan to start my morning with a full session and I feel like a kid at Christmas in anticipation of it. The rest of my day will be spent reflecting, laughing and loving.
