so it begins

This is my first blog post...ever.  I just did a yoga for an hour, and I thought I'd never be a person who did yoga at all.  I thought yoga was for other people, fitter people, skinny people like maybe vegans or something.

But doing yoga makes me love my body more.  When I first started yoga, I felt like I had to push my body harder to be stronger and more flexible than I was, but one yoga teacher I had said, "Have compassion for yourself.  If you don't love your body, how do you expect other people to?"  I heard that and remembered it.

My new mantra for yoga is that is should be like a relationship.  It should make me feel better.  Not worse.  Namaste.
