It took a comment by a friend new to yoga to get me thinking.
“It’s amazing,” said this avid tennis player after his first month of yoga,”It’s incredible what you do and what happens in an hour on that little rectangular mat.” He continued, “That’s all you need, a mat and your effort.”
All on this little mat… physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
You step onto the mat. Do yoga. You step off the mat.
You are different. Some things have shifted a bit. Somehow more solid on this earth, yet clearer, more whole, less disparate. Possibly more inspired, not just tired. Maybe sweaty, but somehow cleaner….
More ready for life, and any and all it brings.
Until you return again to the mat, this little rectangle where, one asana at a time, you and what you bring to this world begin to transform.
