Twelve-Month Plan II

A few years ago, I visited a yoga class.  I chose a "gentle yoga" class because I was out of shape and having some soreness and stiffness in my joints.  I found the classroom, the teacher was very clear and encouraging in her instruction, and I left the class in tears.  Even in a "gentle yoga" class, I could hardly do anything that the other students were doing.  I was extremely disheartened.

While on my recent trip to Sedona, I encountered several people who mentioned yoga and its benefits to me.  They told of the difference it had made in their lives and the lives of loved ones, and they urged me to find an instructor when I returned home.  They discussed options such as private instruction and practicing yoga at home with a DVD.  Toward the end of my trip, I was beginning to respond, "Enough, already!  I got the message!"

I did indeed get the message, and I thank all the messengers.  I have already begun my search for a yoga instructor, and I have added yoga to my Twelve-Month Plan.
