Repeat Offender

I have to admit, I have recently been guilty of taking classes at studios I've previously visited, instead of going to explore new ones. While at the start of my journey it seemed like a great idea to always go out and try new places, I quickly realized this was not always going to be feasible. Between schedule conflicts, specific assignments and personal desire, I find myself more often than not, going to a place I have already been.

Initially I felt myself a bit of a failure for already returning to studios so early in my exploring and thus going against the self-imposed rules I had established for my blog posting. Then I took a moment to stop judging myself and see if I could find a positive side. I realized that while I may return to the same studios, I rarely return to the same teacher so besides possibly being in a familiar room, the class is entirely new to me.

More importantly I came to see that this is simply the natural path of my practice, which in turn effects the progression of this blog. I can make whatever rules I'd like for my blog and for my life in general, but everything changes. In order to live to my optimum potential, (something I've been thinking a lot about lately due to a recent yoga class, but more on that later) I need to be malleable enough to morph with the changes as they come and be aware and open to the opportunities these changes bring.

So after struggling to see the future path along which my blog would take, I've discovered that it isn't going to be a straight line from point A to point B, but more of a meandering, abstract line with no distinct beginning and no forseeable end.

With that in mind, stay tuned for some visits to some old favorites, some introductions to some new friends and a newly expanded definition of what defines a yoga class....
