We have met another expat wife who, since coming here 3 years ago has taken classes to become a Yoga instructor. So she kindly offered her services to us to try out one of her lessons. The 3 of us were a bit worried about how we would cope with it but she was very kind and started us off with a beginner class. It was pretty easy but still took some effort to slow down and let the mind relax enough to concentrate on breathing properly.
You know how much STUFF is constantly going through your head,
- What's for tea?
- How is Mac going at his new school?
- Does my bum look really big in these track pants?
- I need to buy milk and bread.
- Must post of that parcel that has been waiting to posted for 2 weeks now.
- Gotta pay the phone bill
- Gee my hips hurt sitting cross legged for the last 5 mins.
- Hope Victor isn't sick of waiting for me
- Oh I really need to paint my toe nails
- I wonder if I will ever be able to sit cross legged Yoga style and it not REALLY hurt.
- Stop thinking brain and relax.
- BREATH.
So 1 hour later we were all nicely relaxed and keen to continue with our classes next week. Although I did have grand plans of doing a couple more classes in between but with Mac not being well and not wanting to let me out of his sight that wasn't going to happen. So I look forward to next Tuesday and my hour of "ME" time, relaxing. (Please God let Mac be well)
