Yoga Love: Reignite
*written on Feb. 20*

I haven’t been on the mat for a month until this morning (hides face in
both palms in shame). I couldn’t say Bliss Yoga’s relocation and my new job got
in the way. As a matter of fact, there’s a yoga studio 4 buildings away from my new
office. I’ve been meaning to check it out, I swear. I’ve gone as far as
visiting the studio and it sure is pretty: a well-lit penthouse with a zen
vibe. Definitely more inviting that Bliss Yoga’s old basement location. But
even after being smitten by how the place looks like, I kept on putting off
attending my free class. I just didn’t feel like going.
“And since when did you ever NOT feel like doing yoga, especially when
it’s FREE?”, screamed my judgmental brain.
At that point, I accepted defeat. Not in my practice, but in trying to
steer clear from my home studio.
Last night, I visited Bliss Yoga’s new location in Legaspi. The moment I
opened the door, the receptionists greeted me warmly. They showed me the new studio,
which looks a whole lot better than the old one (but the old one will forever
be special in my heart!), more spacious and with a comfy lounge where
people can wait (hello, boyfriend!). Despite the new interiors, the familiar
faces instantly made me feel at home.
This morning, at 7AM, I came down my mat. I was shaking in a lot of
poses; my legs were too relaxed when I practiced my headstand before savasana.
But I was happy to be back. The teacher was new to me but her class felt right.
The flow felt right. I remember writing months ago about “falling in love at
first vinyasa”. I think that’s it. There are different types of yoga and I’ve
done a few, but nothing hits the spot like vinyasa does- like vinyasa at Bliss
does, to be more precise.

This is better than pancakes for breakfast.
Today, I start reigniting my practice.
Namaste. :)
