Yoga Can Keep Your Head From Exploding. It's True!

I know what you are thinking, seriously, I know. I have mind-reading powers that you don't know about (well until now that is). You're thinking, what is this talk of brain's exploding and yoga having the power to stop that from happening?

It's like, totally true!

Let me begin at the beginning:

I work (or worked depending on your perspective, but that is another tale for another day) at a yoga studio in Rhode Island. A place called All That Matters. It is the best studio in RI (if I do say so myself) and it has taught me much.

But I digress slightly, let us get back to the tale at hand shall we?

I was working at the aforementioned yoga studio when I was out one wild and wooley evening and met myself what seemed like a fabulous man. He was older, drove a Harley (gasp) and had a handlebar moustache. All of these things and other things (that will remain private) set him up to be a great find for the Juice. Or so she thought!

Two months (keep that in mind friends) of "dating" later your heroine comes to find out that said Harley Moustache Man is MARRIED. Unhappily so, but married nonetheless. Making him off limits in my book. The "relationship" was terminated and your author was left feeling quite sad, distraught, deceived, etc etc etc.

So she started going to yoga. One reason was it was the only thing I could think of that might have a chance of saving me from myself, the other being a preperation for a long yoga event I wanted to partake in. So I went to yoga every day, thats 90 minutes of stretching and being with yourself every day.

I am not kidding when I say it saved me.

Months went by and I realized that instead of being mad at this Harley Man, I was thankful to him. Imagine my surprise when compassion and pity was what I felt towards this man who had broken my heart. I felt sad for him that he was now stuck in his life of sadness and misery but that I had flourished by being a part of his life. I had begun going to yoga which made me feel better which in turn made me look better. My life took a turn I never saw coming.

I was happy. Truly happy for the first time in my entire life because I had found something true and real that I could do and I could do well.

And it kept my head from exploding. And you know what I can do now? Well I can hold my head up high, knowing I did what was right for me. I can also touch my head to the floor in a forward fold. Pretty dang exciting.
