The Beginning

Samskara saksat karanat purvajati jnanam.

"Through sustained focus and meditation on our patterns, habits, and conditioning, we gain knowledge and understanding of our past and how we can change the patterns that aren’t serving us to live more freely and fully."

Fresh Start, Fresh blog.  I was going to just pick up where I left off on my next Blog - but seeing as this is a fresh start and a new phase of my life, I thought it best to leave the painfulness of my last blog, exactly where it is. 

For a few weeks now I have been back on my path of eating well and exercising again.  So this blog will be about my journey with that as well as my journey getting back into my Yoga & Meditation.   Last week was a loss of just under 2 kilos with 4cm off my waist and 4cm off my hips.  Which has spurred me on even more than I could ever imagined.  Upping my Yoga to twice a week has made me feel amazing.  And now, thanks to a beautiful person, who has lit the fire up underneath me that I needed I am seriously considering doing my Yoga Teaching course (thank you miss Alisia).  

For a long time I know that there was something more that I wanted to be doing. I wanted to study but didn't know what. I've procrastinated till the cows came home. And even when I thought I had made up my mind (doing a psychology course) I still ummed and ahhed over whether it was really for me.  I've never fit into the "mould" of doing things the "traditional" way (for lack of a better word). Doing the 9-5 corporate thing just isn't me.  But the minute my mind was opened up to the possibility of learning to teach Yoga as well as learning amazing Yoga practices for myself, I instantly became excited. No procrastination. No doubt. Just certainty that this is the path that I want. Doing something that I love, and showing other people how to do it as well. Showing people how amazing life can be when you take a long hard look inside yourself and learn to become 'at peace'.  

I know my journey is still at the beginning and there's still so much that I need to learn and that is so exciting for me. For the first time in such a long time I feel so positive and so happy. And so excited.   So this is my new place to blog about my weightloss, my yoga journey, my spiritual journey ....
