I have been practising yoga for about six years,
my practice has been consistent realizing early on
the incredible value of these ancient holistic movements.
I cannot extol the benefits enough!
I came to yoga at a difficult phase in my life,
when my adult daughter's serious mental health disorder surfaced.
We became her sole carers. Having had mental health issues of my own,
mainly anxiety and depressive states, I needed something to help me cope.
I'd heard how yoga exercise, (as I thought of it then) could help.
Help it did in the most wonderful and beautiful ways!
I am aware that yoga is more mainstream in some parts of the globe than others,
here in the UK yoga is gaining ground at speed.
I am going to be posting about my Yoga & Meditation journey,
how it has been instrumental in both mine and my daughter's well being
in the hope that it might encourage others.
After six years I'm the first to admit I'm not the most knowledgeable,
skilled or elegant practising yogi (a person who practises yoga),
but what I know I would like to pass on ~>
What I know is over time, not only has my body changed
but my whole Being has blossomed!
I'm not claiming yoga and meditation to be a miracle cure all,
but in a time of increased stress it certainly helps.
I'm adding new main categories to store my posts
for easy access to anyone with special interest ~>
My daughter and I would like to use this space to tell our story in the hope of
enlightening others and encouraging anyone who has been or is affected!
Next Sundays

I am so glad that you have chosen to commit to this section on your blog and share it with others. Its meaningfulness for you comes through with great honesty and heart and your willingness to share your journey with others can only provide greater healing to the world at large. Thank you for being the generous person that you are. I have thought of doing yoga. I currently do meditate. I will follow your blog and see where it leads me!
xox,

I practice Hatha Yoga
and I am terrible at it
lol
BUT I love it and everything in me loves it
it is very different from what I have spent most of my life doing via physical exercise but it was time...
and even though I am SO NOT graceful or elegant or swan like...I am more like a thick muscle bound hobbit of sorts...minus the hairy feet, I feel all those things when I let myself disappear into that hour and 15 minutes...when I let go and allow, magic happens
it is lovely and I am grateful every time
love and light Suey
glad to be back in your space
This is such a wonderful idea for sharing your experiences with yoga.
I finished the book you saw on my blog, The Science of Yoga and am going to buy a copy for myself so that I can mark it up etc.
He ends with wondering where yoga will be in the world in 100 years. One path could certainly lead to peace and wellness on our planet. The cheap, even free 'prescriptions' that could transform our health care system among other things.
I look forward to your sharing here!

I had a huge bout with depression a couple f years ago while dealing with my parents divorce... I was even on meds for a few months. It takes a lot to get out of it. A holistic approach, body soul and mind. And the choice everyday not to give into it.
