My Yoga Muses

I love this post from Everything Yoga on finding your muse. So what are my Yoga muses? What brings me back to my mat?

• That feeling I have when I'm really in a pose. When the only thing I'm focusing on is my body, my breath and that moment. Whether it's Downward Dog, Triangle or Sphinx, it's that feeling of connection.
• How well my body moves in Yoga and afterward, and how poorly it moves if I let my practice slide.
• That feeling I get when I do a pose for the first time (or sometimes for the hundredth time), when it was something I couldn't do before.
• How my Yoga mat feels like home, no matter where I am when I'm practicing.
• Those moments of serenity and peace that I experience while meditating, even if I'm not gifted with them every time I sit down.
• The absolute certainty I have that this is where I'm meant to be.
