When I first walked into the yoga studio, it put me at peace with all the negativity going on in my life. The room was very neat, organized and clean. Candles were lighted. Then when the class started, soft music began to play.
My first yoga teacher was very sweet and welcoming. She helped me throughout the class when I needed it. When I tried the different poses for the first time, they were difficult, yet I also found myself having fun. I like trying new things.
That first class was in February and I waited two months to take another one. I was saving up my money at the time. I also felt worried that I would fail at yoga in general. Yet the desire to try again drew me back to the studio for more classes.
Taking yoga on a regular basis has helped me define my inner self. When I say I have defined my inner self, I mean I learned the importance of my life and how valuable that it can be.
Before I began taking yoga classes, I didn’t care about anything. Though I am still young, taking yoga has made me grow up a lot. It has given me a different outlook about life in general. Most young people around my age can be really reckless and not care about anything until something negative happens to them. In my case something positive has happened to me.
