A big thank you to John Muldoon for asking me to guest post on his blog Monthly Experiments, a site dedicated to building a better lifestyle by taking on a new personal challenge every month.
If you missed Part 1, check out From Burnout to Bakasana: 38 Days of Yoga. If you missed Part 2, check out Progress Over Perfection: 27 Days of Yoga & Counting.
Here’s Part 3 of 3.
Journey of a Reluctant Yogi
“You know you love yourself by the commitments you are willing to make and keep.”
I set out to do 38 days of yoga. I didn’t go to class everyday, but I did do 38 days of yoga.
Yoga isn’t about the awesome arms (which you get) or the cool clothes or the weird lingo. Yoga isn’t even about getting to class.
It is about being present, being intentional, being aware. At least that is what yoga is to me.
When I started this challenge I was militant and then I realized that was the opposite of what I was trying to accomplish. Judgement is the opposite of yoga.
Check out my guest post on Monthly Experiments to read about how I committed to 38 days of yoga … 38 days of self-love … 38 days to change.



I’ve dabbled in my fair share of downward dogs, but getting my butt to yoga is more of an emotional hurdle than a logistical one.
