#yogaprogress

Today is day 83 of my 365-day Yoga journey and at the same time, it is also January 1, 2022.

A new year is upon us and, although symbolic in nature, I do still like to use this day as a day of reflection. Upon the year that has just ended and the new one that has just started.

I started January 1, 2022, off with a 1-hour yin yoga session to set intentions for the new year. It was a moment of meditation and to create openness in my heart, mind, and body. It was great!

I will not set any resolutions, but my intentions are as follows:

- living according to my personal philosophy (which entails putting on paper what this philosophy actually is)
- I will embrace flexibility in being and doing
- I will release mistakes made in the past, and work on Ahimsa, Satya, and Asteya. I will not live in the past. I will find refuge in the present
- I will attempt to be a helpful person to all
- I choose silence, love, gentleness, forgiveness, creativity.

Namaste

I am currently on day 71 of my 365-day Yoga challenge. I can barely believe that I already have less than 300 days to go.

What I have been trying to do is living my yoga off the mat as much as I do so on the mat. I have noticed that I am more patient, less attached to things and outcomes, and overall more zen.

I have also noticed changes in my flexibility and my strength. I can do much longer sessions and higher levels of difficulty. I hope to grow even stronger in the coming months and to continue gaining life lessons from my time on the mat.

My one intention right now is to try to keep this site updated more often, maybe not daily, but at least 3-4 times per week.

Namaste:)
