Making Healthy Choices –~A New Yoga Direction
One
of the benefits of aging is reaching a point in life when one becomes
completely comfortable making healthy changes, even when it tests loyalty to a
long time friend or associate.
For
the past 10 years I’ve been a member of a local yoga studio that served me well
for about 7 years. However, the studio
has grown in a different direction than I have grown. That is okay. For a long
time our community had no other options. So I tried to fit my square peg into
the hole that existed despite my frustration and discomfort. I just felt out of
sorts.
But
in the last few weeks I’ve discovered an opportunity for yoga practice that
fits my needs, which includes classes that are accessible, available at the
right time for me (which is 5:30pm) and
which help me find inner peace. It just feels right.
For
sometime now I’ve felt I’d lost my ability to delve deep within myself and
connect with the spirituality I used to find in my practice. But I’ve
rediscovered that inner peace with Jala, a relatively new studio in Winchester,
Virginia. I’ve found myself lost in the moving meditation and focus on my
breath with my mind completely at rest. Every class I’ve attended has felt right for
me.
Perhaps
it is the bloom of spring when everything seems possible. The changing of
seasons fills the air. And I’ve learned over the years that change is positive.
It is a catalyst for growth and new beginnings.
Part
of me feels regret that I must move on. But another facet of my being feels
invigorated, infused with the spirit of joy, healing, peace and serenity. And
that is the path I have chosen to travel – to peace and serenity. So I know my
decision is the right one for me.
