As a self proclaimed hot yoga addict, I have begun to realize just how lucky I have been during my stay here on earth.

I think its safe to say that I have always been one to take the easy way, the short cut, the path of least resistance.  After all, my motto has always been why create more stress than necessary and it seemed to work for me.

In order to create a semblance of calm and non chaotic existence, I chose to be an anticipator rather than a reactor.  If you know what’s coming then you don’t need to panic when it arrives.

The only trouble with this theory is one lives for the moment rather than living in the moment.

Yoga has taught me so much, but this is a profound truth which hit me right between the eyes.

As a Pisces, I am one to take on the interests and beliefs of those around me, rather than forming my own. If I have learned nothing in the past 30 years, it is that I have slowly learned to do the opposite.  I have learned not to take on the poses of those I chose to surround myself, and it’s result has greatly changed the way I look at life and myself.

I am attracted to all things new and exciting, love meeting new people,  and crave new experiences, often referred to as ‘wanderlust.’  I look forward to being in the moment, rather than observing it from afar.

But now, I will experience them, one pose at a time.
