This month has been full of snow and all of the disruptions that weather brings with it- snow days, delayed openings and early closings at school, treacherous driving and canceled yoga classes. Pre-Bikram, these last minute changes in routine and the uncertainty that accompanies it would have been a tremendous source of stress for me. It occurred to me when we had a change of teacher in the middle of practice (on two occasions) and a teacher's puppy making faces at us through the door, that I have become much more adaptable to distractions and disruptions. Usually, the children at school are very discombobulated by an on-again, off-again schedule, but they haven't been. I know I feel much more que sera sera about it myself and maybe they're responding to that. This adaptability and more relaxed attitude is one more thing I think I owe to my Bikram practice.
Plus- it is helping mitigate the back and shoulder strain from shoveling all this snow!
Transformation Through Yoga
This is an informal journal of my experiences with Bikram yoga. Through my practice I have become a better version of myself. Not only has my health improved in marked and measurable ways, I have also become much more deeply happy, connected with the present and have moved further down the path of enlightenment toward kindness and compassion for all beings.
I hope eventually to become engaged in dialog with others practicing Bikram yoga with their own intentions and experiences. Please share your comments. I will receive them without judgment or attachment, and with an open heart.
Namaste
