The Yogini from Manila

Breathless, Car-less, Yoga-less

| 0 comments

It’s been that kind of week. And if there is such a thing as yoga ranting, THIS IS IT!

I have not been sleeping and eating well. Work has escalated by several notches. Everything is due YESTERDAY, people are working really LONG hours (like — overnights at the office), and I have found myself having zilch yoga (do you call chair stretches every few hours and a few forward bends at night before bed, decent yoga?).

I really truly miss yoga!!! I miss my yoga mates’ energies. I miss my teacher Pio. I miss my practice!

And to compound it all, our driver went on a vacation last week — the most crucial week when all the deadlines were coming due.

Many times, I catch myself breathing shallowly during the day. That definitely CAN’T be good!

I try to take this in stride and tell myself that this is a phase, that there is an end, and that I just need to try and coast along with the situation.

Meanwhile though, I can feel my inflexibility creeping back in and that means I have to be ready for a bit of a setback when I resume.

If you’re reading this, please bear with this yogini and her rants. This blog is one way for me to release everything that has been kept inside me for some time now. Maybe when my practice resumes under my teacher’s care, things will get better and I can once again bask in the positive energy of everyone around me.

Please keep me in your prayers — that I stay healthy throughout this time.

And here’s what I have to say to my dear yoga mates and teacher – –

I SHALL RETURN!!!!

🙂
