Day 27...my return

Today was my first day back to yoga after a week long absence. I wish I could say it was great to be back. But it was a hard class and my body felt some loss of stamina. I'd like to simply be proud for going. Period. However, I'm feeling very apathetic and low energy. I know it's the depression and if I'm patient this bout will pass at it usually does. I guess I just hoped that going to yoga would be the magic fix for the last terrible week. And that I'd crave another class tomorrow. No such luck.

  1. Even if you can't muster it, *I* am proud of you for going. And I don't even know you! I went through a long period of that apathy and low energy (and they still comes around, of course), but didn't recognize it as depression for a long time.

    For so many people, myself included, just getting to the studio is the hardest part of practicing yoga. Sorry it was a hard class... but I'm happy that you made it. :)
    *hugs*
