Headspace

I decided to get back to doing yoga. There was a time when I did it consistently and take my word for, it felt really good to be nimble and have good posture, among other things. But as it happens, life got in the way and maybe I wasn't prepared to adjust to it accordingly, so I had to give up a few things to give way to ~more important~ ones. This is not to say that I'm done with those. To be honest, I don't think I'll ever have as much free time as I did a few years back, but that's growing up and adulting to you.

I've been relying on iPhone apps these days to get me to clock in a workout. (I'm going to talk about that soon, I promise!) It's been great, actually, so much so that I thought why not do the same thing with yoga. Because as I implied, my flexibility hasn't been the best recently so that needs to be fixed. Plus, I'm trying to get back to living a healthier lifestyle and I intend to be holistic in my approach, hence yoga. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in it for any spirituality and chakra alignment purposes (because I really don't buy it, but to each his/her own), but I acknowledge the fact that yoga relaxes me. It affords me a few minutes of headspace that I don't get by just taking a pause and breathing deeply. And god knows that with everything that has happened lately, I am in dire need of a clear head.
