Io Yogo, Tu Yoghi, Egli Yoga

I find it interesting to think about the relationship between concentration, yoga and relaxation.
Typically when we want to relax we go to yoga, but I realized that actually it is not that easy to do yoga when you are under stress. If you keep thinking about your problems during yoga, you will never be able to do the poses in the right way. Breathing should help find the right concentration, but I still have to learn how to do . During class instructors say: "Get rid of all your thoughts, just be". I thought we were, exactly because of our thoughts. Is there anything else beyond them?

However, today was a very special day. For the first time I did the wheel!!!!!I consider it as a big big achievement. I was ready to bet that I would never be able to do it, and instead it happened!!It happened at the end of my yoga class: I felt that I was warm enough and so I decided to give it a try. It took me some concentration, some courage and some strength, but suddenly puff: I was up there!!!And it was really really beautiful. So beautiful that I started shouting my friend's name because I really wanted someone to double check if everything was correct. And apparently it was! Happy!
