A few months ago I decided to ‘choose’ to be healthy. Sounds rather strange, doesn’t it? I mean, who do I think I am anyway, choosing health? Don’t we all want that? However, this doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped eating junk food, or that I exercise consistently. I still like the choice, but most of all, I like the idea that I’ve chosen.
Along with my walks on the beach when I’m at the cottage, comes my effort at yoga when I’m home. I go to a local studio that has hot yoga, and do my best to attend the Bikram Yoga sessions. For an hour and half, a trainer verbally leads us through a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises. Room temperature is about 105 degrees; the humidity 40%. It is a workout, inside out, “from skin to bones,” and although not simple, I feel a sense of simplicity in knowing the routine will be the same each day.
Choosing health and going to yoga today made it a little easier to say no to junk food.
