Since starting a new job a few months back, yoga - of any kind - had to take a backseat to more "practical" matters. The demands of work, having to manage my own schedule as well as the schedules of the other 3 members of the family.
I hardly went to class, hardly practiced on my own. After a while, I found myself in the same situation I was before yoga - stressed out, hypertension, migraines, messed up sleep patterns. When my BP shot up to a 140/100 shortly after new year, I found myself in familiar territory. I knew that only yoga (ok, and maybe an occasional dose of Melatonin) could bring me back on track.
And so I got back into the studio. I realized I was missing out on so much and that I owed it to myself to keep coming back. I've been practicing about 1x or 2x a week - far from the daily practice just a few months ago. But I know I have to start somewhere.
