Today I had my first Iyengar yoga session! I am not as flexible as I used to be, but also not as bad as I thought I would be after spending 8 months practically bed bound!
Just 6 months ago I could not walk without my gutter frame. My energy levels were extremely low and going to the bathroom just a few meters away used to make me feel exhausted and out of breath. Bending was painful and also felt physically impossible as my body was stiff. I still remember with love my sweet carers helping me to dress up and put on my socks and shoes.
Today I was radiating happiness as I was doing my yoga postures. I could not help but smile. I just could not believe how far I have come in such a short period of time.
How did I do it you may ask? I did the work every single day, no matter how much pain I was in, no matter what the doctors or anyone around me believed. I believed in a different reality for myself and then just surrendered my belief to the Divine.
If I can do it, everyone can! Believe!
