"Why I Love Yoga"

I have been going to recovery college for quite a few years.

Then a different course all together was advertised, yoga for everyone.

I was lucky enough to get accepted.

It was a one day workshop for two hours.

The day of the course.

Oh my what have I done,? what do I wear? what will the others be like,? what will I have to do? im not fit enough,.

So I went, and it never crossed my mind that of course all the others on the course were having the same thoughts as me.

And of course it was fine, more than fine it was great, the tutor is lovely, you work at your own pace, its siting on a chair and some of it is on a yoga mat (this is provided) or standing.

This has helped me to identify my weakness that I need to work on and my strengths.

You dont feel self conscious, everyone does what they can to their own ability.

It dosent feel like exercise its gentle movements not hard impact.

I now look forward to the yoga sessions and feel extremely grateful and lucky that I can attend these sessions.

I have seen a change to my mental and physical heath, I feel more confident, my arthritic joints are becoming stronger and less pain full, I feel more alive, have more energy.

The bad days are still there but not as bad or as oftern.

Thank you Diana (yoga teacher) and Recovery College.
