i do believe the body holds emotions and memories and yours sound like they are being released. its difficult, but im sure its healing. im really excited about your book!! congrats! i didn’t realize you published until i popped back on your blog (after a long blogging reading-writing hiatus). You ROCK!

I’ve been that person sobbing on their mat in the middle of the class. More than once. I can say that my yoga instructors have all been very compassionate as I find myself in this position and I love knowing I’m not the only one who does this.
What I find truly amazing, though, is your ability to sob in Todd’s lap after yoga without feeling as though you need to explain it or justify your strong emotions. I always find myself denying my sadness by trying to find a reason for it and listening to that inner voice saying, “What do you have to cry about? Honestly? You have a great life and you’re not in any danger now, so suck it up, you wimp!”

You’re very much inspiring me to try Yoga. I need to get out of the house to do something (like you -can’t do it at home). And I’m just not feeling like doing some major cardio workout (although I like and need that). I don’t know, the yoga is sounding appealing. I just looked at the website for the studio that I drive past frequently. I just may do it. Thanks for writing about this so much.

Dear Michelle,
Your posting was, as others have said, inspirational. Inspiring. I know I need to do something like this, but I wonder if yoga would work for me because of the Meniere’s.
Bending over is always tricky with that disease. Well, I’ll go on line and see if there’s anything about that. Thanks for sharing all that’s happening. You are on an exciting and yet quiet and reflective journey. Living in the moment. Living consciously. That’s so important. And so easy to forget to do.

Peace.

This was so fun to read – so different from your normal writing style! I can tell that you’re excited about the 40 days program and, I’m feeling a bit guilty now that I haven’t been to yoga in two weeks. It is so hard to figure out how to fit it in with the kids around, but I’ll remember your advice.

I’ve been trying to get back to the mat. I know how good it feels….it’s just making the time; the space. If you can do it, surely I can do it. Thanks for the reminder. We all need them from time to time.

Hey, Yoga girl…wanna grab a bite?

I find this post SO inspiring. Just the step of awareness is a huge one, the one that breaks the cycle and shifts your goals. I so share the sense of exhaustion. It is powerful to realize just HOW little you do for yourself, and makes it easier to pause and shift.

Keep up your mindfullness…

I LOVE THIS! I love that you’re doing it so fully and acknowledging the feelings it’s bringing up for you. And I love the notion of a yoga meal. We are so doing that once a week from now on!

And, ahem, pictures of the haircut, please…

Oh, my god. That video was perfect — and hilarious. I’m embarrassed to say that it’s EXACTLY like that at most yoga studios here in Los Angeles. Scary, actually. But I do love yoga, and in all seriousness your post today was very inspirational. I nodded throughout — and admire you for following through.

Namaste.

i missed this oprah episode but i am fascinated by your insights in this well-composed post! i love the line “enabling an addict is an act of cowardice, not love.” so RIGHT ON. im sorry you needed to learn this lesson from first hand experience. that is very sad .

Well said Dee. You are probably one of the bravest people I know being prepared to seek the answers to questions like that. Most of us wouldnt even want to ask the question.
Sending love and happy thoughts your way.

Today, I heard Dr. Drew Pinsky say the same thing you have here and I had to come back and tell you that.

Dear Michelle,
I like that you are open to the possibility of new ways of doing things.
Being open leads to options.
