Finding our mat

It seems that I, like everyone else, must struggle to to squeeze in yoga. The days are so full and busy and 'I' seem to be last priority. And then the body cries out for yoga. When I reach this point physically, the sweet ecstasy found in the breath and movement on my mat is exquisite. Drawing me back and making me long for more.

The biggest draw back to a home practice for me, right now is the space. I only am able to practice in my bedroom, which is also my office. I come to my mat, but it seems that the call of my desk and chores is Loud and distracting, pulling me away or simply detracting from my focus. I dream of finding a home where we can have a full time dedicated yoga room. I have a vision of this space and am daily dreaming of waking each morning, walking to the studio with my man and practicing together. Ahhhh. It will be lovely.

Until then. next to the bed, in my thankfully large room, near the piles of work, I do my best to escape in the nooks and crannies of my life.....for now.

  1. Hi Tara-

    This is how I feel about running. I love to do it, so why don't I more often? It's exactly what you said- the call of everything else is so loud. There needs to be a balance.

  2. I agree! So hard to balance all the responsibility of being a mom and also taking care of ourselves.......
