If there is light in the soul,there will be beauty in the person...If there is beauty in the person,there will be harmony in the house...If there is harmony in the house, there will be order in the nation...If there is order in the nation ,there will be PEACE in the world...-Chinese Proverb
Too late to start?I started to take yoga practice when I was 41. This was after I stepped down as a leader because of stress and I was assigned to work with a Yoga instructor who was doing part-time teaching English in one of our newly opened schools. I don't know if it's fate. If it is, it's too late because I already had an injury --- I broke my knee cap from a fall and was operated on but it didn't go back to it's normal shape so my left leg is weaker than my right. But this yoga instructor, Hideyo Naito, was very convincing that I could do it. She gave me a discount for the first lesson. In just one session I knew that it's good for my over-all health.
It was when I realized I did some yoga pauses when I was a child... I don't remember, though, how I learned them. I think I observed a neighbor or a relative doing them and I tried them just like any curious child would. And when I started going to a yoga class regularly I found out that I had a couple of yoga VHS tapes. After half a year of practice I realized that Yoga practice will be part of me until I leave this world. |
