Serenity, Clarity and Insight
Today I went back to yoga for the first time in a year. This after making a New Year’s resolution to go at least once a week. Such is the life of a mom who works.
The funny thing is, I usually feel guilty about not going to yoga. But after I made that resolution, I actually felt good: I was feeling satisfaction just from having the intention to go. I would think about yoga, how great and calm it makes me feel, and a sense of peace would descend on me.
So today I turned up and the teacher, Tal , grinned and said, “Katrin! Good to see you again!”
I felt as though I’d come home after a long absence. Then, at the end of the session, he said, “I hope you have all found some space here today. Because it is space that gives us serenity, clarity and insight.”
I thought, wow. I had entered that room, rushed, crowded by thoughts, people, e-mails, to-do’s, and I left with the gift of space around me.
(Now I wish I could find a way to get to yoga more than once a year…)
