Twenty years ago, I stopped practicing yoga. That's misleading, I began completely neglecting the asanas (the physical postures). And maybe I've been a little lax with the yamas (restraints). I've had the occasional harmful thought. I lie. It can be fun, right? Sometimes you have to pretend to be your non-existent twin sister. It's just better that way. No debt, nope gotta a pile of student loans. Celibate when single? HAHAHAHAHAHA, not quite, but I will be faithful if I take a husband.
I decided it was time to jump back into it. For about a week I have been taking it slowly, realising that I am not 15 anymore, I weigh 30 pounds more than I did then, and it has been so long, I've got my yoga virginity back. Everything was going well. I feel better, I'm more relaxed, my mediation is more efficient, but I was curious how strong and flexible I still was.
Did I mention patience is another one of the yamas I need to work on?

Epsom salts in a warm bath might help!
Funny you should say that...we all could use a little more patience or it will use us.
Breathing with you.
one love.
Blimey.
I am blinded and very impressed by your yogic terminology!
I am also so happy that you have started it up again and have woken (gently!) your yoga virgin twin sister!!
May you continue on your way to a calmer and more serene you.
:-)
Take care

Good for you, patience is a virtue..And I would try epsom salts too. lol. take care.
I find that yoga was designed for the long and lean.....not me. :-( Still I love it. (even if it doesn't love me)
Namaste
