Lucky 13 of the yoga journey with Adriene

I took some time today to prepare myself mentally to get on the mat. My energy levels were really low this morning. I didn't sleep well last night because I had a sleep paralysis episode for the first time this year. As you can imagine it ruined my mood. I posted about my experience with sleep paralysis, click here to read about it.

Sleep paralysis is an awful experience. However, I encouraged myself to continue this yoga journey. I should find the courage in me to take care of myself. I don't want to miss a day of this 30 days yoga journey.

Today's yoga practice is titled (feel) and it was a much-needed yoga practice.

Adriene isn't the traditional yoga teacher, she has her own style of teaching, she doesn't follow the idea/image of the typical yoga teacher who insists that you follow the exact shape of the pose.

She allows everyone who practices yoga with her to embrace their bodies, their emotions and not to push themselves way too hard, not to worry, not to feel stressed in any way, to feel accepted, and to feel loved.

That's why I love doing yoga with Adriene, she doesn't put pressure on me, I can come to the mat feeling drained and she gives me enough energy to commit to yoga without worrying about the shape but to focus on the sensation.
