I am so glad I listened to my little voice inside and guarded my ME time, though not without a period of feeling guilty about it.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182881635816655061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582219175036372780.post-21591633131461014872009-02-08T09:11:00.000+11:002009-02-08T09:11:00.000+11:00I envy her energy, Patti.

I know what your yoga practice means to you...I look forward to getting back into yoga (to complement gyrotonics) when I'm feeling better (I'm looking at late spring/ early summer). My yoga teacher will be on school break from nursing school and will be teaching again then. <BR/><BR/>Self-focus looks different for each person. I agree with you that no one should feel guilty. To do this, we must be very counter-cultural, and in many cases, break years of conditioning, but it is worth it.<BR/><BR/>Namaste,<BR/><BR/>OOliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058356843151306428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2582219175036372780.post-91324825054138235032009-02-07T20:55:00.000+11:002009-02-07T20:55:00.000+11:00finding blocks of time to listen to our bodies - t...finding blocks of time to listen to our bodies - this is beautifully worded - just yesterday I joined a gym, I hate working out in gyms but I need to get this body moving more and the discipline was just not coming on it's own. and as I walked on the treadmill and lifted those weights, I felt the energy and power in my body coming back - I also will do some yoga classes. It's so hard to make our bodies part of the to do list with so many other things to take care of (3 kids, work, house, etc.) but it is so necessary! thanks for your insight.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291712812097151421noreply@blogger.com
