Egull1's Journal, 01 December 2018

I've been doing Hatha Yoga on and off since I was 22. It was kind of the exchange rate for giving up Ballet at 13. I am half Indian (dot, not feather). But, my Mom and Dad split when I was very young. Needless to say, I've never been to the mother land. Although, mama says I was conceived there. I guess I can wear one of those "made in India" stickers, LOL. Getting into yoga was kind of my way of honoring the flexibility I was born with and staying connected to a continent I may never see in this lifetime, but for which I would not exist without.

It's been many years since I've been able to do an Asana like this. Not since my 30's at least. I love this asana, because it looks like the feet are praying instead of the hands, LOL. My MS specialist literally prescribed yoga. I had almost decided to give it up when I started strength training, and lifting weights. But, I'm glad I threw it back in. It's wonderful for rest days and helps stretch out stiff muscles. I love looking at this pic. That's 45 year old lady still stretching like an 8 yr. old. I won't live forever, but I'm glad I can give this gift to my spine.
