Here's The Thing About Yoga

I always practiced yoga, but via pop sugar and I was always lazy so I never really got into the practice.

A month ago when I saw a free yoga class on the mainland and decided to join.




Over the last 3 classes I have learnt a lot - massive growth on my part.

I decided at the beginning of July that I'll no longer engage in home exercises and I have been able to follow through.

Here are few things about yoga that totally makes real life easier for me.

Knowing what makes you comfortable

One pose might be hard but there's always a way that you can make it comfortable and stick to it. It's usually just called variations or modifications & that's like compromise in real life. You find your comfort and make it work. Not every time do as I say.

Finding your Stability

My right leg is better off the ground... I really can't stand for longer that 30secs on it alone... but over the last 3classes I can achieve 2mins and then 5mins on the left leg. I now know that one leg is doing better than the other my stability is recognized

Recognizing your Weakness

I also have a bad knee, actually both knees got bad when I used to do dead lifts and walking lunges. Knowing that helps me learn my limits.

Breathing
Breathing will help you with many things - just breathe and calm down.

Going at your Own Pace
Stop looking at others, stop using them to measure your pace.

I'm happy about yoga and who it allows me to be... yoga is my calm what's yours?




PS: I drink water in all my photos - because I can.

I Come To You As A Woman

If I got a dollar for everytime someone has come to me as a woman, I'll have 3 dollars. For those of you who don't know what that means I'll explain. So," Coming to you as a woman " is a term used when "another woman" who is either having an affair with your man OR  you are having an affair with her man, calls you out. The process usually starts with snooping around and finding out who you are and reaching out to you. Here are some reasons why some ladies might come to you as a woman: They are getting cheated on with you - that gotta hurt. They are currently "dining" with your partner and can't let you be happy in peace. You both have the same "d*ck appointment". And this is how it usually starts - Hi *inserts name here*, I want to talk to you about Ted. I come to you as a woman who just found out she got played by a man she loves ......BLAH BLAH BLAH.  Your first reply should be to block her and stay awa...

 If you missed my memoirs last week check here .    And please don’t start a lecture of don’t visit boys when you don’t want to do anything with them. At some point I almost lost my virginity, not exactly willingly. First I must Thank God for that day and second I must tell you the story. Me I was okay with visiting boys; at home and even in their hostels. Well it took one day and I lost every bit of trust in going to a guy’s house. I’ll be very dramatic and detailed, one faithful day I paid a friend a visit a "supposed crush"; we’ll call him “Douche” for the sake of this story. Somehow we were kissing then he asked 'Are you a Virgin'.  My countenance changed immediately, so he wants sex, first time here oh! And I hate answering such question but I had to, so I said yes... Mr. Douche looked at his wristwatch and said by this time of the year, you must be joking in his words “pick one remove your top or your jeans with no argument” I pulled my ...
