Day 1: A Beginning

This is all new to me. Doing something, anything (besides brushing my teeth and bathing) EVERY day and thank you for checking in as I throw it all out there into words.
I started off the New Year and my first day of '365 Days of Yoga' at the Green Lotus. A beautiful studio nestled in a "woodsy" area in Lakeville. I marvel at the time it takes to get there, 14 minutes, flat. An 8 am Level 1, a.k.a "class for beginners". Although I usually go for something much hotter, intense and fast paced because I think it's what my mind and body need to get through the day or this life, it's what was available to me and in hind sight the perfect way to begin this process. I find my body moving with deliberate intention, my mind-chatter hushed and even my gaze out the window gets lost in the trees outside and in the snowflakes that are just starting to fall. This all reminds me that I am a beginner in this new year. Each day will offer exactly what it intends, not what I think it should be and what it offers is something beautiful. -A
