kundalini yoga

I hurt all over. Don't get me wrong, it isn't meant to be strenuous like other yogas, but I am sooooo not in shape. Oh, what is it I a m talking about? Kundalini yoga of course. But I get ahead of myself, let me tell you how I came to find this.

I have been in a funk lately. I had that illness a couple Fridays ago, and never really recovered. I have this icky feeling in my abdomen, which is eerily like the fluid from the canser. Well me freaking out is putting it lightly. It feels eh right now. Is it fluid? I don't know, I do have a oncology appointment Monday.

I meditated, and I believe regular exercise is one of the key elements i am missing. I went for a walk with my hubby and he went longer so I came back to the apartment. In the same building I live in, there is a chiropractor office. I have been meaning to check it out, because it is definitely interesting looking. It's called Metta by the way. I took note of the name and went upstairs to research it. The man who runs it is also a yoga instructor, and does meditation. Well you all know I am all about meditation these days, so i decided to check out his class Monday night. It was very different for me, a group, and chanting, and a little yoga, all things very alien to me. I got to talk to him(Paul) and he told me about what the sanctuary was really about was Kundalini yoga, and convinced me to give it a go. Here is a link to their site:

I went in not feeling well. I got dizzy at singing lessons today, and although I have felt a little dizzy before, this is the first time I really felt I had to take a break and sit. I still felt off when it was time to go the class, and when I took my place on the floor, I was feeling icky. I honestly didn't think I would be able to do much. It started and I tookit really easy. The other participants were really going for it. The breathing exercises were intense. the session turned out to be about releasing stress and fear. It was a lot of focus on breathing... exactly what i needed. All of the poses and exercises were hard for me, but I did what I could, which was way more then I thougt i could. Somewhere I really connected with the breath... FINALLY. It was great and i cried, of course, lol. I actually cried several times, and if i let it, i could of balled, but I tried to keep my composure. I do want to go back. Friday they are having a Ra Ma Da Sa meditation and it is specifically for healing. I definitely want to go to that one. I am so sore though, and i am a bit concerned how I am going to feel in the morning. No pain no gain right?

Well here's hoping I feel like supergirl in the morning;)
