So I have to make a confession.

I haven’t practiced yoga in about two months.

I know, I know. For having an entire section of this blog specifically dedicated to yoga, I haven’t been holding up my end of the bargain. I’m embarrassed to say that I went from practicing yoga daily to not even thinking about it. But, such is life. I went on a backpacking trip through Europe for a month, I moved to a different city and thus had to cancel my yoga membership, and I’ve been terribly busy with graduate school. And even after all of that, I still have no real excuse as to why I haven’t been practicing. I can do a quick 15 minute session at night time, but instead I’ve been munching on popcorn and watching Naked and Afraid reruns.  I can say a simple meditation right before I go to bed, but instead I’ve been watching cooking videos on youtube. There really is no excuse besides the fact that I have been too lazy. I have been too lazy to get up and do something with my body. I have been too lazy to come home after an 11 hour day and practice a short sun salutation. I have done my body a huge disservice by forgetting to properly take care of it. Unfortunately, it’s showing. I lost the muscle mass I worked so hard to put on. Now, I shake doing just one chataranga down! It’s quite embarrassing. I can’t even put my palms completely on the floor.

But, no more excuses. I have had a long enough break to finally listen to my body and treat it right. From now on I promise to practice yoga on a more regular basis, and I will document it here on this blog.

And with that I leave y’all with this wonderful (and very applicable) quote
