not actually so dedicated these days!

OMG. It's been exactly one month since I finished the Challenge and updated.

I have to be honest: it's summer, and I really dropped off for a while there. I have been dragging myself to class on the days that I actually attend. (I never regret class, mind you. I am always very relieved that I went and sure that the reluctance will not return the next day. It does, though.) Many times, I have dropped plans to go at the last minute, or, after mentally berating myself for laziness, forced myself out the door with three minutes to spare before class started after already commiting myself to a night off.

I think that one week I only attended class three times.

Oh. I guess that's not so bad.

I have been avoiding putting all of this into writing, to be honest. This is just a progress record for myself to look back on, and not my main blog or diary. I just thought it would be a fun way to spill about yoga in a forum erected strictly for that purpose instead of mucking up "Allergic to Life" with a subject that, quite frankly, does not hold lasting fascination for all that many people.

In addition, I decided to call this "Dedicated", and I'm not really worthy of the title if I spend all day dreading the moment when I'm going to have to decide whether or not I'm going to go to yoga. I can find any excuse to skip. I have reached a big bump in the road, so to speak.

Yoga means union between body and mind. This is easy to say as we know what a body is like and we use the word 'mind' as synonymous with 'brain'. Likewise, we know what a brain is like and its function in tandem with the body is not entirely a medical mystery. There are lots of different ways that brain and body can become disconnected, and we thought about this before we started to practice yoga. But what does it really mean? I think by the time I figure it, if such a blessed day will actually come for me, I will be passed the point of being able to blog about yoga!!
