I began this year with a promise to do 60 days of yoga in a row, and I did. I then decided to do another 60 days in a row and I did, I believe I did 4 back-to-back 60-day challenges before my streak began developing holes.
Today I am down 20 for the year.
As I approached the mat today my body was stiff and weak and just not in the mood.
Each posture I did my best, but my best looked like a beginners effort. I felt I was being asked to perform something far beyond my level of effort.
What continues to surprise me is that the pain in my joints, my hips and lower back still persist.
And along with the pain come the tears.
You wonder how much a body can hold.
What I wanted most was to be wrapped in a cotton blanket and swaddled in a quilt with a fluffy pillow and suck my thumb…to not move to make another joint scream.
It still surprises me that I go to the mat for this torture, for the blanky option is available each day as well.
I am not stopping on December 31st I will continue to yoga along, in hopes that one day I will come to the end of the body’s pain.
339 days have passed by and I have tossed my blanket aside and stood on the torture mat for 319 times.
He says, you can either suffer for 90 minutes or 90 years, pick one.
Yoga is the winner this year.
