Something Was Missing

Before Yoga:  I was very stressed.  I couldn't organize my thoughts.  I had no physical ailments, so I really didn't do any physical activities.  I have a full time job and go to college.  I really have no complaints about my life before yoga except something was missing.  My life felt like a dumped out puzzle... all of the pieces were out there and none of them connected.

After Yoga:  I began practicing November 2012 and took my first class with Jill.  I came every day after that.  When I travel for work, I practice to the audio recordings offered online with Liz & Brian, or I find a studio nearby.  After three full months of practicing yoga eight times per week; I find I have patience, clarity, and confidence.  I no longer am 'braced for impact', but am able to feel exactly what is going on each moment.  I have let go of the pressures and stress of work and school and I can operate with a clear mind.  Even my husband notices that I can listen better and communicate more clearly.  I feel as though I am aligning my body and my life.  Now I am comfortable in my own skin and in my own life.  My life is beginning again at 42!
