I always feel aprehensive about exercise. I know if I do too much I will suffer, and not enough and I will suffer. And maybe part of me is being lazy…but tonite I did my 15 minutes. I got up and danced a little afterwards and started to feel better. My girl Wai Lana always does her little yoga dance after her practice. I am out of shape (although I still think I have a good figure) I’m outta shape, and I feel sluggish and I just don’t like how I look and feel with the extra weight. I read something in a book I have called “Heal Thyself” Queen Afua says
Most illnesses are the result of shattered dreams, unfulfilled goals, empty promises in one or many areas of your life. To change your karma, do things that make you blissful. Don’t wait to live, this is all the life you have. You and your freedom and bliss await your heart this very moment. Live every moment fully, as if it were your first and last.
I guess she’s saying what Joseph Campbell said: follow your bliss.
To follow your bliss I need health, this little 15 minutes is my humble start.

Today I’m particularly tired but I did my sitting yoga gently. I feel better than when I started. I feel like I’m slowly reconnecting with my body. This is my 4th day. Couldn’t sleep last night, that made today tough, but I got thru, and i’m really sleeeeeepy, so good nite all:)

I did my 15 min of sitting yoga. I feel good about keeping a commitment to myself and my overall health.
I’m praying to be consistent, and enjoy feeling good!

I felt so good today. I attributed it to the Yoga I did yesterday. Wow maybe I’ve been tense and tight so long, that I forgot how good this feels, to feel stretched out a little.
I just did my sitting yoga, everything is tingle-ing. I’m striving for consistency right now. 15 min feels like what I can do now, but i’m looking forward to doing more.
Thanks to everyone for all of the encouragement. Yoga can change your life. I can see that!

Did about 15 minutes of sitting yoga. I was going to put it off and start tomorrow, but I’m glad I started today. My breathing is better and I feel more hopeful. A little bit goes a long way. Ebear says work on building consistency. It feels nice joining all my fellow 30 day yoga buddies

I must remember that yoga is so powerful that sometimes just doing 5 minutes changes your whole feeling about yourself, and adds just a little comfort and health in your body. Just finger yoga can change everything. It’s a worthy goal do not give up on it.
