reflection of our first week

When I stepped foot into that Mysore room, I was over come by the sensation of a full room of people practicing together. I never thought it would happen again, everyone breathing together in one room, no one nervous or panicking about COVID. Just to step in that room for one class would give me enough energy to last for a lifetime. It was a dream come true. I felt so relaxed so happy so content. I had my two beautiful girls with me, they were both equally happy and adored Sudha, it made me feel at such ease. 

It I had allowed myself to think prior to the trip I did have some apprehension, more from other people's fears, but most people knew me well enough not to try and encourage me not to go. I'm so glad I didn't allow fear to make the decisions for me as a decision based on fear is never the right one. 

As I ate breakfast with Alessia after class and asked her how her trip was she told me much better then she thought it would be, although she was very excited about coming. I was delighted. I equally felt the same it actually couldn't have been better it had outdone my expectations and only a week in. 

 

We spend our days eating coconuts. Telling each other stories and building on the amazing relationship we already had. I felt so privileged to have this time with my two amazing daughters, to be able to just live in the moment, and soak up every moment with them. Just riding along in the rickshaws or walking the beautiful streets of Goklum I felt such a sense of peace inside me. Like I had returned home. 

 

To be able to get up and go to my yoga class without children to give myself that much needed time, only added to it. After two years of restriction talk about COVID. Business closed, strict rules and regulations I finally felt, this was living this was happiness this was life worth living.
