The doc said I wouldn't run anymore marathons after my first....and I've run two more....mostly because of incorporating yoga into my life.Mary P.

I am so excited that you are "adventuring in yoga" as well! I have been practicing for 12 years now. I had a realization yesterday that I want to share.It is also about slowing the mind. I have gotten to the point in my practice, where I really have to turn my brain off, because it will tell my body,"you can't do that". It's amazing how the body can do somthing that the mind says it can't. I'm sure there is some spiritual/technical term for this. I just call it, telling my brain to be quiet, so that I can reach my true potential.I love yoga for reducing my stress, keeping me in shape and for saving my spine (I have a prblem with my back that doen't bother me as long as I continue to practice). Keep up the good work! Namaste -Mary SchrockAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
