Sometimes it just happens. Not all the time. But every now and again, everything flows and happens easily. And so it was the case tonight. I try to really savor this when it happens. Day 16 in and things are starting to fit together nicely.
I notice while I'm sitting on the train today that I am naturally sitting up with great posture. For someone like me who spends a good portion of the day and week in the unforgiving cycling posture, this is a welcome fringe benefit of all the yoga. I do miss running though but something has to give temporarily in this 30 day pursuit. My body actually feels really great. More open. No aches. My hamstrings are noticeable tighter this week but that's probably from those deadlifts in class this week.
Saturdays is my one day off. I'm pretty sure that's why the yoga flows on Saturdays. My mind is clear and my schedule is clear. The only physical thing I have to focus on is yoga. It's the perfect place to be for someone like me who makes her living working at such a demanding physical level. I am so grateful for Saturdays. I have a deep appreciation for a day like today..
The truth is that all the days so far that have been a struggle have paved the way for this one day. I delight in this moment and savor it completely. I'm not quite sure how soon this will happen again. Honestly, I would not want it to happen again too soon. It's way more delicious if it happens as a reward for the hard work. We cannot really appreciate the light if there were no darkness. It is the contrast of experience that makes life such an extraordinary journey.
