My Yogi Life

I went to Y Yoga for 6:45 am Power session. After the session heading to Urban Fair to get some supplies. While I was in Urban Fair, I broke out a smile whenever someone come towards me. It is not like that I don't smile to strangers before, but this time I feel the difference. The smile came within, something I will refer to as my core. I am fully aware the existence of my core, my inner strength. I only started Yoga class last Thursday out of blue. Friend of mine recommend it while we were having a casual lunch. I felt that I was so out of shape and I do need to do some fitness of some sort. I went to Y Yoga with no expectation simply hoping to find something decent that might motivate me to go on a regular basis. Well, I was stunned. I was enamored by my very first Yin session. I came to some sort of awareness that excited me and calmed me in the same time. When I finish the session, I was beaming and craving more. It was not easy, but I noticed the sutble changes in my body and soul. Yes, I say soul because it was not simply my mind, it went deep. Of course, I went for more. I tried out all the different lessons in Yaletown location in 3 days. What a ride!



I had to leave Vancouver to Victoria to see Vivian row at Regatta on Sunday. I left with unquenched thirsty for more lessons. Sure enough I was back yesterday and went to 2 sessions (Power + Yin) after work. My body was somewhat stiff at Power and I did my best. The Yin session was very relaxing, I think that I even got into a deep meditation stage. I was gentally persuading my body to be more flexible and have more strength. I had a bit to eat before my 12:30 pm ferry coming over and nothing after except water. My body was not hungry even after 10 pm. I did go to Urban Fair afterwards but they are closed. Walking home at night was so peaceful and inspiring. Set up an alarm to get up at 6 am to go to my morning Power session and I am glad that I did drag myself out of bed because the feeling after the session is so soothingly amazing. I would say that it is very close to euphoria. I did notice that I was a bit more flexible than yesterday and a bit more strength within me. That smile I had in Urban Fair is also a sign of strength. Oh, I love yoga, more so I love Y Yoga Yaletown!
