My Yoga Journey Continues!

 

I have officially started another path in my yoga journey. Aside from the ridiculous amounts of money I have spent today (Nordstrom half yearly sale started) I also went to Freeman Yoga in Fullerton. 

Patrick Freeman was my yoga professor at CSUF this past semester, and gave us a free pass for one class. His studio is located in downtown Fullerton and I went to give it a try. 

I love yoga.  Don’t get me wrong, its hard. This class I took today was one of the hardest I’ve ever taken.  But as I sit here still covered in sweat, I feel great. I really dislike running.  I’ve been keeping up with that  too but I just love yoga.  The stretches, and poses the balance, all make me feel wonderful.  I am VERY bendy now. I always was to begin with, and it blows my mind that some people can run a 7 min mile but can’t touch their toes.  There is something missing there.

Half way through the class I knew what I was going to do. There is a special for CSUF students, $150 for 3 months of unlimited yoga. Alright, alright, I know what you’re thinking, $50 a month for yoga?  Really Drea is that all there is?  What’s so great about yoga and its practice is that its not just about the physical and you can make it what you want to.  There are spiritual and mental releases too. And the best part about it is, you get out of it, what you put into it.

Something is going on with me right now. When our instructor, a lovely little woman dressed in loud yellow pants with an equally loud orange tank top put on the sound system , the sound made me tear up. The yogi who taught his particular brand of yoga died on Monday and this class was in honor of him.  I felt like this is where I belong.  This is the path I’m supposed to take.  Its not going to be easy, but I know I will reap the rewards.

 

Unrelated, here’s a funny picture I found:

Can you name the movie? You’d better be able to, its so easy!
