My 100-Day Yoga Journey: A Path to Self-Discovery

At the end of last year, I quit my⁤ job and gave up flying yoga,⁤ which⁣ I had been passionate about, and joined an old yoga studio in ⁣my neighborhood.

One day in April, I decided to devote more ‍time to yoga to overcome my lethargy. I set that day as the 1st and ⁢aimed to surpass 100 days of dawn practice.

I think that after about⁣ 100 days, I ⁣will be able to confidently say,⁣ “I am a person who does‍ yoga in‍ the morning.” ‌And I promised​ myself that when I reached 100 days, I would give myself a gift.

The process of completing the 100 ‌days was mostly enjoyable. On the way to the yoga studio in the quiet dawn, the refreshing ⁢and rewarding feeling of sweating while doing yoga, the feeling of comfort and liberation‍ from Savasana at the end of the practice,‍ the inner intimacy felt by those who always practice together at the same time, and the energy that comes up on the way home from doing yoga.

I think I was ⁢the happiest around the⁤ 90th day. The thrill is⁢ most intense when your goal is right in ‌front of you, almost within reach.

But now ⁤that 100 days have passed, I don’t feel any great ‌emotions. Yoga can get⁣ a little boring sometimes.

A book that was like a ⁢gift that I read at that time (it was actually a book that I received as a ​gift)​ made me realize why I really love yoga, and ⁤I think I’m starting to get a feel for what kind of mindset I should have when practicing in the future.

The reason ‍I‌ liked yoga and was ​able to continue doing it is because daily practice has sustained my life. The time that I face​ every morning, even if distracting thoughts keep coming to me ​at that ​time, it gave ⁢me the strength to⁤ live each day, and taught me lessons.

And from now on, I’m going to try to be a little ​more sincere about yoga. Up⁣ until now, we have focused on various movements (asanas) and‌ the movements themselves. I want to understand the original purpose⁤ of yoga practice and try to practice in accordance with that purpose.

“Yoga practice ⁢is ‍ultimately about paying attention ⁢to‍ your body sensations and breathing.” As much as, I want to practice looking into and acknowledging my​ senses, ⁣breathing, and emotions as they are while practicing.

So The senses are purified ⁣I want to feel the privilege of being a yogi a little more deeply. If this process piles up and piles up ‍again, wouldn’t my body’s ability to read and write, my body’s understanding power, become ⁣stronger?

Yoga is definitely fascinating. I’m glad I discovered ‌its⁤ charm at⁣ a ‍young age. I’m looking‍ forward to tomorrow’s early ‌morning practice, which I haven’t had in⁤ a⁤ long⁢ time. 🙂
