18- Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder.


Yoga is a lot of things.  Yoga is not the answer to it all.

Yoga is not a religion. Yoga is not a bunch of Hari Krishnas (sp) communing in a love in while eating tofu. Yoga is not a threat to your way of life ( if you think so, you may consider your way of life). Yoga is not glamorous. Yoga is not just for women. Yoga is not just for men. Yoga does not require you to sacrifice coffee, beer, wine, cigarettes, tea, or beef… although you may find you have more balance if you forego some. Yoga is not easy. Yoga is not impossible.

Yoga is a commitment and if you truly are committed, you will miss it when you are apart. Like a loved one your time together and the gifts you share make life grand. Smiles, laughs, pleasure and compliments abound in the good times.

It is in the difficult times that the relationship is tested. When you transition through a difficult moment, find thanks in the knowledge that together, you have prevailed and at the end of the day, the laughter returns.

In the last week I have gone to exactly one yoga class.  I miss my time on the mat and think of it fondly, even the tribulations conquered on my 2 x 5 rubber foundation.

I believe I will reunite, tonight.

Namaste-
