Im saying that based on my experience.
Lets be honest with ourselves, though: the last few years have been far from easy for many.
To have the feeling of impending doom is more natural than not to have it.
I downloaded a meditation app out of sheer curiosity.
Ill be honest: at first, it didnt cut it for me.
With no ambient noise in the back, this was hard for someone like me.
I very much get trapped in my thoughts, and to have moments of silence would cause more panic.
I started utilizing my local Y as they had group yoga classes in a remote format.
I knew there were other participants like me, anxious and eager to get started on their journey.
Alas, the group setting made all the difference.
No matter how your mental health makes you feel, that is accurate.
When your limbs are being stretched to their limits, you never believed you could.
Once youre in your own moment, your focus is locked.
No intrusive thoughts; no thinking that someone is silently judging you during your group session.
After a while, your body will adapt to this beautiful journey.
No journey is ever linear, especially when its the journey of your mental well-being.
The next time youre feeling like youre missing a piece of your life, take my advice.
Yoga is a portal to a healthy place, a safe place, and a beautiful place.
Try it; trust me.
