I definitely get that wiggly feeling if I go 2 days in a row without practice...it's enough to get me on the mat 6 days a week most of the time...even if I only do a little bit once I get there. :)Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236070295895456544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499398322302495158.post-57658783301869405762011-02-08T08:38:20.783+01:002011-02-08T08:38:20.783+01:00Thanks Nobel.

Maybe I'll have to start viewing yoga as a vital part of my life, like food and water.Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483919150641771008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4499398322302495158.post-14989493138478150972011-02-07T17:26:44.712+01:002011-02-07T17:26:44.712+01:00Oh, in my last comment, I meant to say "until...Oh, in my last comment, I meant to say "until something not so nice happens", not "until somebody not so nice happens."

But seriously, I think that when you start doing yoga, your mind/body learns a new way of comporting itself in this world, and will always want to be in a place where it feels good (i.e. certain yoga poses). Of course, there are many people who go through life without ever having experienced this, and therefore never feel that anything is amiss in their mind/body's experience of the world. Or sometimes, they don't feel that anything is amiss until somebody not so nice happens (e.g. when they pull or dislocate something in the course of daily activity). So I think that it is actually good that your body craves/is addicted to yoga and bodywork. I mean, there are much worse things to be addicted to :-)Nobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655577410721103577noreply@blogger.com
