Day 38 of yoga is done, and it feels more doable now that I have grown some new muscles, which actually make it harder for I can go deeper and stand longer, but compared to being weak and unbalanced, trying to do a pose, this is much more satisfying to do.
If you just look at the physical changes to my body, it is remarkable that 90 minutes a day for 38 days actually produced stronger muscles and better balance.
As for the inner changes, they are subtle but felt within.
The absence of the nagging lady whining about my laziness and me has disappeared. I feel better about my efforts to be present with this body.
Looking backwards I can honestly say there is not one thing that is bad about doing yoga each day. Sure the effort it takes to get up and out of bed is probably the hardest, but if you just roll out, the rest falls into place.
I wonder if this can be part of my normal life, that it become a new normal routine, like drinking coffee and a sweet treat used to be. How fruit, yogurt, cereal and tea are my new normal breakfast.
In the future will yoga be natural too, a natural part of being me.
