Oh Yoga, where had thou gone? Why have you been absent from my life so often lately? Especially when I insisted on stuffing my face with so many vegan cupcakes and so much yummy pasta over the holidays? Well, I forgive you. And am so happy you have returned to my life. Thank you, thank you!
Yoga, I’m not sure you realize, but you have been such an inspiration to me. You are one of the greatest loves of my life and I want you to know this. You have encouraged me to smile, breath deeply, embrace my whole being, and practice ahimsa (or “non-violence” as some people call it).
I’m so happy you’ve returned, Yoga. I love waking up with you every morning, and playing with you all throughout the day. You just make me feel like a whole woman. When you are in my life, all I want to do is stretch my body and reach for the big blue sky! What power you have to inspire me so much!
Yoga, I know at times we have a rocky relationship. There are times I’m with you that I want to tell you to leave me forever! You even make me a little angry sometimes. You make me do things I really don’t enjoy—like abdominal work and balancing poses. But I know you always have the best intentions. You just want me to have an open heart so I can share myself with the rest of the world. I love you for that. So thank you.
Even though we are apart at times, please know you are always in my heart. Like when I drive all the way to Trader Joe’s for organic cherry tomatoes and there aren’t any on the shelf. You remind me to chill out and be flexible, instead of getting really pissed off. You help me when I’m walking on across the parking lot and trip over my own shoes. You bring balance to my life.
I know our relationship will be a long and ever evolving one and this thought brings so much gratitude to my heart. We have a special bond, you and I. One built on trust, appreciation, and acceptance. Thank you thank you Yoga! I love you sooooo much!
