Discipline of Dance, Yoga, and Life
Friday, November 28th, 2008As I stumble out of bead this morning, my stomach is still full from the excellent meal we feasted on yesterday, but my motivation is nil. Having a morning cup of coffee I look into what morning Yoga classes are offered today. I find a teacher I like in Santa Monica, CA. She is exactly what I need. However, I have no motivation in my mind. My body wants to move, but my mind just wants to chill…
So I did it I pushed myself out of bed into the shower and bounced to class only arriving 5 minutes late… Which isn’t bad consider I do live somewhat far away from Santa Monica.
Point being, is that I have this engrained sense of discipline of the physical body from Dance. I was trained to take class, always 2-3 days a week at least. With dance, the movement is constant and the body is challenged with rhythm, past paced direction and heat. For me, with yoga the movement is purity to enhance breath, rid emotional blockage and cleanse energy. Every class is hard for me to go to, but I push myself to do it. And I am always happier after class, balanced and ready to eat.
Applying this discipline to other parts of my life, is my journey… Yoga, Pilates, & Dance are pathways for me.
