How I fell in love with Yoga
If anyone knows me, they are probably thinking the yoga mat was the last place I would end up. I was constantly go, go, go. I enjoyed running, the gym, lifting weights, just being generally fit and healthy. It wasn’t until I injured my hip quite badly a few years ago that made me stop right in my tracks and think woah! What am I running from?
The hip injury isn’t really the story here but months of pain, physiotherapy and rehab, I was completely miserable because even going for a walk on the beach would be painful. I have actually never got back to running since because it just causes a flare up. This is where the beautiful practice of yoga has come in.
Yoga had always been a part of my life from the time before I went to university and now in the working world. But when I say it was part of my life, I was going to one class a week and simply doing it for the ‘stretch’ or to improve my flexibility to aid in my gym work or running. I didn’t like to meditate because I always got an overwhelming panic when I tried to quieten the mind. I suffered quite badly with my mental health through my teenage years and even into my early twenties, constantly trying to escape my thoughts, which is probably why I found it so difficult to switch off in meditation and yoga practice.
It wasn’t until I injured my hip and actually had no where else to run but just to sit with myself and my thoughts. That was the start of my journey and I have never looked back. I practice yoga every day now and I might not necessarily be on my mat, but just being mindful, caring and grateful for everything/everyone around me is enough. Yoga brings me a sense of calm, vitality, strength, power, confidence and bliss to name a few. These feelings I would not have got in the gym. It sounds like I’m really bashing the gym here, I’m not - I’ve just found the feeling in yoga that someone else might get dead-lifting. I found my groove!
