Drinking some of this tonight. Had a long week, my brain is fried. I had five finals this week; two Monday, two on Tuesday, and one today after my annual medical appointment. Because this week is finals week, a local yoga place I love is having free yoga classes all week. Today was the first day I could go. I needed to go. I was so glad to go.
For an hour and a half I sweated harder than I ever have doing any other exercise, including running. I love yoga, so I guess I put more into and I get more out of it. Afterwards there was a 30 minute meditation session. I stayed for that as well. The yoga instructor for todays class is the one I prefer to go to, he plays the harmonium…it’s beautiful. Plus, he gives out hugs…who can pass up free hugs?! I came home afterwards in complete bliss, but I still felt a little twinge creeping back up into the front of my head from all the stress over the past week. I wanted something soothing, something that I didn’t need to focus on, something without caffeine. I went for this tea. I found that adding honey really makes this tea shine.
I wasn’t able to fully go back to that blissful state, that twinge in the front of my brain is still there, hopefully after a good nights sleep it will go away. Until then I’m drinking this and listening to this video, which is the one I find most resemble what my yoga instructor plays and sings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wgkgXR_LMg
Hooray for free hugs!
This makes me nostalgic for yoga class when I was in university. I was terrible and have hardly any balance but I always enjoyed it. Now I do easy yoga at home and enjoy it even more, though I really should be challenging myself more.
