i heart yoga because:

• it gives me strength
• it gives me peace
• it gives me inspiration
• it gives me solitude
• it gives me community
• it gives me confidence
• it teaches me awareness of how my mind works and how my body moves
• it teaches me to understand when I need to rest and restore or when I need to create heat
• it teaches me to trust my strength, my weakness, and my foundation
• it teaches me to let go
• it opens my heart and my mind
• it teaches me to work toward goals
• it softens my temper
• it brings me a real happiness
• it is love

Babs,
I LOVE this! Can I use it in my classes? I like to sometimes end with inspirational quotes/poems/thoughts and this is GREAT!

sometimes yoga gives me a temper, but also, in that way, helps me let go

Hi all, thanks for the wonderful comments on a silly little post. I left my class the other night on such an incredible yoga high and I wanted to get down what all that high entailed. And the difference yoga has made in my life!

@heather--you can absolutely share! I'm flattered!
