I have been doing yoga for 4 years. Sure, I've taken breaks occasionally. I stopped for appendix surgery, and then there are the times when illness and vacations have gotten in the way. But, I think I've stopped now because I'm just not happy. Originally, I did it because it was 75 minutes of ME time. No children, no chores, no interruptions.... Oh, and it made me feel good. My neck and back felt great. I built muscle and flexibility. But now? I am finding reasons not to go. Making up reasons not to make my class. Why? Part of it is that my favorite teacher has switched her focus, and wants students to make "progress". I want relaxation, not increasing difficulty. Oh, and then there are the inversions. Blech! (Inversions are when you reverse your blood flow by doing upside down poses; headstands, handstands, shoulder stands.) Yuck to them all! I HATE inversions. I have tried dozens of poses, and then all make me feel icky afterward. Maybe its my low blood pressure? (105/60 at last count) There is no way that something that feels that bad can be good for me, no matter what "studies say". So I am taking a break. I am a bad yogi.
