Half way to completing my 30 day challenge and I am feeling so much better than I was when I started this journey. Getting back into a solid and regular Yoga practice has made me feel inspired and I have already noticed a few differences in my body and small things that are actually big things in my day to day life. Some of the things I have experienced with 15 days of Yoga practice are: - Sleeping better than I have in months. After 7 months of travel and forever changing time zones I was waking up at 4-5 am in the morning even though I was exhausted when we first arrived in Vancouver. I could barely sleep but now I sleep a solid 8 hours sometimes more (I haven’t started work yet) without waking. - My muscles are stronger and more toned. 7 months of an on-off Yoga practice with intense illness meant that I lost a lot of tone and strength in my entire body. My core and hips had barely any strength when I started taking classes again but now I feel much stronger and have more endurance when holding asanas for longer periods of time and my arms, stomach, thighs and glutes all look tighter and have a more toned shape. As a response my posture has also greatly improved. - My mind feels calmer and I feel more connected to my breath. When I feel that something is getting on my nerves I instantly connect to my breath and take long, slow and deep inhales and exhales. It is a tool that can be used To help and calm you down instantly. As in Yoga practice we learn to breathe through asanas that may be difficult to hold for a period of time we learn to breathe our way through tougher situations.
