m.i.a.


So I have been missing in action from my blog for about 4 months now. Wow, it has been that long!  The silence from my blog though does not mean that I have lost interest in my yoga training. On the contrary, I have been the process of rediscovering it...  since learning that my husband and I are expecting our first baby, my yoga practice has taken out a whole new level.  I mean, being pregnant is bigger than both of us...  than anything else for that matter!

and so for the past 5 1/2 months, I have been rediscovering yoga as a pregnant yogini :).   

For the past few months, I have gone deeper into my practice in a whole new different light.  I have rediscovered my relationship with my body and have gained a greater sense of awareness for my own body as well as the life growing inside me.  I have rediscovered my own strength and have found a renewed respect for my own weaknesses.  I have a greater sense of purpose and a clear intention during each yoga practice.  I have developed the ability to draw a heightened level of focus and meditation from within.

So while I do miss a lot of things about yoga that I used to be able to do before I got pregnant, being pregnant is allowing me to experience yoga in a whole new way.  And for that I am thankful, and for that I am blessed.
