I’ve been practicing yoga on and off for the past few years but started a more consistent practice at Ignite Yoga when it opened last December. It’s done me worlds of good in terms of helping me gain strength, heal my back (which has given me problems on and off for a decade now), and mental balance when I feel overwhelmed or stressed (which is more often than I like to admit). I could be having a wretched day/week/month and feeling physically off but a trip to Ignite always sets me back on the right path.
Lately though I’ve been feeling tired, cranky, and just plain stressed out. I knew I needed to do something about it so when Ignite sent an email about an upcoming mind, body, and soul challenge I couldn’t help but feel like it was some sort of divine intervention and immediately decided to sign up.
The challenge involves following a 100% natural cleanse (so no processed foods, meat, dairy, sugar, etc.), at least 18 yoga sessions (if you want to have one day of rest per week), and daily journaling and meditation.
A friend of mine suggested I blog about it – I figured it couldn’t hurt. I doubt I’ll chronicle every single day, but I might trade in the journal for the blog here and there along the way.
I’m sure it’ll be difficult, but I’m looking forward to the next 21 days. I think carving out a little more time for myself each day, nourishing myself, and giving myself another outlet of expression will be just what the doctor ordered.
Namaste!
