Balance has been a struggle since an inner ear infection at the age of one. 12 years of dance, various sports, and now karate have helped. But! Nothing felt quite right until tonight. Yoga.
A while back I told someone I was thinking about trying yoga. They responded by saying, “Yoga is for flexibility. You’re already flexible. Why do yoga?” That comment is like saying karate is about fighting. Yes karate is about fighting and yoga is about flexibility. Yet karate is about discipline, strength, compassion, self defense, and respect. Just as yoga is about balance, control, breathing, and mental focus. Something about yoga’s unique blend and form made my body feel aligned, relaxed, restored and strengthened after just one session.
Now I’m hooked on yoga, just as I’m hooked on karate.
