Since I do yoga often, I do not have to take muscle relaxers, prescriptions for physical aliments or even cold medicine. I am at risk to potentially have surgeries to have my tendons clipped for lengthening and/or excess visits to outpatient rehab clinics but because of yoga the muscles and tendons in my legs are more flexible than they've ever been.
Despite the fact that I do not look very graceful when I am doing yoga poses while in class I have learned that yoga is about being kind to my body with positive thinking as I am moving. I have learned there are several ways to adapt movements and poses so I am able to do them easier. When I attempt yoga and other physical activities it's obvious that physically I will struggle. This is when my confidence, inner strength and ability to laugh at myself shines through. Yoga has been able to allow me to let these strengths appear while I am trying new things.
