OMMMM...

Inner peace

Yoga is invigoration in relaxation. Freedom in routine. Confidence through self control. Energy within and energy without. ~Ymber Delecto

Whee..feeling alive! Just got back from a yoga class..
It's been ages since i had such a great stretch, but that euphoric feeling one gets after pushing one's body to the max is finally coming back!

I've stopped dancing for more than half a year, and there have definitely been bouts of desire & wishful longing to dance again..especially since i've been dancing for more than 10 years. (Though my technique was never great, i just loved the rhythm & freedom of contemporary dance!) But then i no longer felt comfortable performing, perhaps because i felt myself ageing (haha..no, really..i mean it) so i stopped..

Now i'm just really glad i'm rediscovering the joys of a good stretch & dynamic postures once again! I completed a basic yoga class years back..but stopped after i got my cert cos i kept falling asleep during class (I swear--i was unusually relaxed--i don't think even yoga is supposed to put you to such an utter state of relaxation)

And the place where i'm now learning is really uber cool--a shophouse with antique furniture, dim lightings & warm chiffon/gauzy curtains (pictures next time). My yoga instructor is beautiful too--she has this hynotic zen look about her. She was an ex-ballerina so you can imagine how flexible & svelte her body is.

Anyz i'm feeling happy, peaceful & calm right now. Hope this lasts..through SIP (though i think that's gonna be tough)..and through year 5 (am i asking too much?)..and through Housemanship (now i really am pushing it aren't i?)

Haha we'll see.
