Dear Alex & Jackie,
I enjoyed the gathering at the studio on Wednesday. I didn't speak up when people were giving their thanks to the two of you so I'm writing instead. To be honest I have a hard time putting into words what my yoga practice has done for me. I guess I started coming regularly with the thought of losing weight in mind. I have lost some weight (not much!), but what has happened to my body inside and out is absolutely amazing. The real bonus is what has happened in my mind! I have always been a very positive person but I'm even more so now. I just feel so emotionally satisfied. A co-worker asked me last week if I am EVER in a bad mood. I'm really not, so this got me thinking and I can't remember not feeling positive and upbeat about every part of my life. I think because this transformation happens gradually that I wasan't fully aware of how I felt until asked that question.
My husband has commented over the last few months from time to time that he can't believe how happy inside and out I seem (he's jealous!). My daughter turned 13 this summer and has become a real "teenager", complete with the attitude many teens acquire. There is no doubt in my mind that I am responding to her change and dealing with her in a much more positive way because of my yoga practice. She is already pushing my buttons and testing her limits and I feel that yoga has given me emotional tools that are a tremendous help in dealing with her. So many times after we have a heated conversation I think to myself, "hey, you handled that really well"! I know this would not have been possible without yoga. As you know, I could go on and on about the positive changes my yoga practice has made happen in my life. I just want to say "thanks". You two are great, your studio is beautiful and peaceful. I'm so glad I found you and for once in my life I know I won't stop "exercising". It feels good to know that yoga will be a part of my life forever. Approaching "middle age" (eek!) knowing I have my yoga practice to help me through all that comes with aging (the good and the bad!) is really an awesome feeling.
I'm really looking forward to the Sunday afternoon class at 4:30. That's a great way to end my weekend and re-focus for the upcoming week.
Gratefully,
- C. O
