Walking Towards Wellness and My Yoga Connection

II have felt ever more connected within myself over the years through my practice of yoga. It’s funny how I just sort of stumbled upon this practice though. Little did I know how central yoga would become to my daily life over the next few decades. One day, as I was perusing the list of college-level PE courses to fulfill my graduation requirements, a yoga class popped out at me. Before that moment I had heard of yoga in passing, along with its mystical allure, in movies. I had never practiced it and knew no yogis in everyday life. 

I began my yoga practice with a college course in Yoga 101. I was a vegetarian, so becoming a yogi seemed to go right along with that and the much-loved overpriced tahini cookies I bought from the health food store. Little did I know this was the beginning of something huge. This course would go in-depth, taking me through more than just the asanas, but obscure practices, such as kriyas. I was like a sponge at this time, just soaking it all in, and everything felt new to me, from the city lights to the whole college experience. So I signed up for this Yoga class, merely on a whim.
