As it turns out I did not in fact go check out the new yoga studio next to my house as I said I would a couple posts ago. No no, I wasn't lazing around in bed or on my super couch- that would be inexcusable, right? Instead, I drove right by the studio and made a left turn a few streets down...to visit my friend who just had a baby! She is only a week old and one of the most adorable little cuties I have ever seen. And you know what? The feeling I got after leaving and having held her in my arms was equivalent to a whole afternoon's worth of asanas and pranayama. I could not wipe the smile off my face, and no one could have even smacked it off if they tried. Something about holding a just barely 8-pound bundle of pure joy uplifts even the most tired and drained of spirits. So while I did not cleanse myself with yoga, my mind and my body were cleansed in a different fashion.
Next step for my friend- mommy and baby yoga! Oh, and I do still intend on visiting the studio near my house- to be continued!
Namaste,
Lady Lotus
