Yoga

I don’t know exactly
When it happened
But something shifted
And I feel
So different from before
I signed up for this class
For so many reasons
But now it’s over I see
I’ve gotten back
So much more
Than I ever imagined I would
I feel like I’m at
The beginning of my journey
And if that leads me to teach
Then that’s great
But mostly I’m just excited
That I get to keep learning
About something that I’m
So interested in
For the rest of my life
From a young age
I’ve always
Sought to find stillness
So finding myself here now
It just feels so right
And I’m so grateful
To have had
Such wonderful teachers
Who made me feel safe
Enough to explore
Myself and to question
The things they were teaching
And then encouraging me
To question some more
And I’ve taken all I’ve learned
Outside of class
And I notice a difference
In my interactions
I’m listening and thinking
More
Letting it sink in
Less prone to distractions
More in the moment
More aware
There’s just so much more
Now I see
And I don’t know exactly
When the change happened
But I feel like everyday
I’m becoming more me
