I had to hit the “pause” button on The Ultimate Yogi program
for a few days.
Sometimes, all the planning in the world cannot overcome
simple human error or perhaps fate, as it were. I had carefully etched in where I would do my DVD’s while
away from home for a few days, only to find when I arrived at my destination –
I had forgotten my classes.
I managed to improvise day one by doing a yin yoga program I
found on YouTube, but our schedule was so jammed packed the next two days that
I decided to find flexibility (not the muscular kind) outside of my sometimes
too rigorous “stick to- itiveness.”
I took the days off.
Once I overcame the guilt of veering from the program, I
forgave myself. I realized The
Ultimate Yogi is not intended to heighten my internal flaws – like perfectionism
and not wanting to disappoint anyone.
In fact, it is for the opposite – to aid in becoming more “ultimate.” And for me, that actually meant
skipping a couple days to learn that it is ok to do that.
It’s funny, I was approaching this program as a physical
transformation program. I am
feeling the aches, pains and soreness from the rigorous flows as well as the
openness and length from the deep releases, but I am becoming very aware of the
personal transformation that is taking place – in just a short wisp of time.
So, today I am picking up where I left off – at Day 18 with
Yin Yoga and ten minutes of meditation.
What transformations are happening to you?
And ... by the way ... Smooches for Valentine's Day!
