I started my journey in yoga 6 years ago when a good friend invited me to attend a Bikram class in Dasmarinas. I instantly fell in love with the physical and spiritual aspect yoga brings to an individual. My first practice was a surprise realisation, that I indeed can last a whole long series physically and felt blissful and at peace with myself afterwards. That sweet silence transcended into meditation and the whole art of letting go. Though my practice weren't consistent due to my work schedule, I make sure that I resort to some self help books to widen my understanding with yoga and spirituality.
Four years back, my attendance slowly kept at a regular pace this time doing Ashtanga Vinyasa. What I like about this kind of yoga is that you can practice at home, doing asanas at your own pace. By and by I can see and feel improvement is on it's way. The ailments that I used to have is gone and everything seem to be normal with my body. (internally) I now have regular menstruation that followed balanced hormones. (less PMS!) Bowel movement is regular, injury pain is gone.. so and so. As much as I get a lot of physical benefits, much MORE it benefits me internally that I hope most of you can experience.
I took yoga on a more serious level late 2008 when I decided to give up my Travel Agency business to just focus on practising. Crazy but rewarding. :) Early this year (2010) I book myself for a 2 month long journey in India to deepen my life through yoga. I must say I was transformed and Mysore was the culprit. (hehe) I have been grateful since then.
The journey is yet to end as each day seem to be just a beginning. I live by the moment and I make death as an ally to live more meaningfully each day.
Love, Light, & Peace
