Apparently I had been in a yoga slump and didn't even know it.
For those of you that work out how do you get over a workout slump?
The good thing for me was that reading the article from Om Shanti and then writing about the Advanced Yogi brought an unexpected awareness and enjoyment to my yoga practice.
It's not that I'm learning a lot of new poses, I'm learning.......to be more humble about it. To turn the focus inward. If I don't feel like throwing an arm balance out there, I won't. And when I want to kick it up a little, I will. I love the group energy of classes but I'm now starting each class with the intention of withholding judgment of myself and others. Closing my eyes more.
My goal is to carry this throughout the day. Spread peace and kindness through a smile or kind word. Do my best to release worry and stress and to embrace where I am at that moment. Live in the "now" as Guy Finley says.
Namaste,
Dawn

My best way to get me out of a slump is to say to
myself: "Just start working out. If it doesn't feel
good stop - nothing to lose, all the gain" Besides,
and this is one of my favorite "It's only 1 hour out
of my entire day". Good luck with your slump.
