It must be those bloody chemicals.
Yep, it was definitely the chemicals taking effect.
Tut, tut, tut…. Not the sort you’re thinking of!
The natural kind.
The kind that I can only equate with………… Actually, I can’t think of anything that feels quite the same.
In mid 2009, I gave up smoking and took up Ashtanga Yoga. I really should’ve started writing about my journey back then but I think I must’ve been scared I might fall backwards, not in Yoga but in life. There was a fear there, on which I have since refused to waste anymore of my attention.
I’ve done different types of Yoga, on and off, over the past 8 years but this time it’s different. This time I feel like I’ve found my life practice. It’s a wonderful feeling.
Anyway, the reason I was high last night was…..
DRUMROLL…..
I got into ‘Lotus’ position for the first time! (as above)
Now, this may not sound like much to the layman but to me, it signified a great achievement and the reaching of a personal goal.
I was elated. I was as high as a kite when I left my class. That and no food for a few hours too long, did the trick.
I am smitten.
