Yoga calms me. It's something that brings me a lot of joy and pain. For those who think that yoga is merely stretching, well, they haven't taken a class. The instructor for my first formal class, unbeknownst to me, has a reputation for giving strenuous sessions. I was so sore the next day, but I went back, and kept taking classes. I have not taken formal classes in a while but hope to someday return.
Last month was National Yoga Awareness Month and I am just now posting about it. (Yes, I'm still working on that dissertation.) As a new practitioner, I am willing to try products to enhance my experience; mainly those that help with my sweaty palms. I overlay a towel on my yoga mat in hopes of sticking a pose and not slipping. For the most part, it works. I've recently discovered a product that is even be better than a yoga towel and I'm very excited about it.
I love practicing yoga and wish I could start taking classes again. Anyone who thinks yoga is just stretching definitely has not taken a class. There really is a connection between body and mind during practice; it's such a holistic approach to health. I found Aurorae® Yoga while in search of an eco-friendly yoga mat, and I am so glad I did.
