I can’t say whether or not my depression has gotten better. Maybe it has, and I am just too down currently to notice it. I can say that I have been thinking more about my actions and how it affects others, whether close or far from me. This incredible journey of soul searching and discovery…

Day 23-30: 30 Days of Yoga With Down Dog
This yoga journey has awoken my love for stretching and meditation. It was supposed to focus on helping me write, guiding me through depression, and taking a moment to understand myself. At the end of this journey, I have come to realize that I am but a small fish in a big pond. My mortal…
Day 19-24: 30 Days of Yoga with Down Dog
Hello beautiful people. I am back once more. I have decided to do this format rather than updating everyday. My sessions have become 23 minutes with the last three minutes spent meditating or just trying not to fall asleep on the mat. I promise you that I like yoga much more than I thought I…
Day 15-18: 30 Days of Yoga with Down Dog
Forgive me once again for not writing. Most of the poems you see are scheduled weeks in advanced and I am under a huge project that could change my life. Each session that I did lasted from 20-30 minutes. I incorporated swift flow movements then repeated them very slowly to get the full effect. Cobra…
Day 14: 30 Days of Yoga With Down Dog

Day 12: 30 Days of Yoga With Down Dog

Day 11: 30 Days of Yoga with Down Dog
Yesterday was a rough day and the day before, I started to write the post but only got so far. Now it is a new day and I am a cranky duckling. I am two posts behind and plenty of poetry that I should have written. I got hit with a depressive episode and I…
Day 10: 30 Days of Yoga with Down Dog
Oh my goodness! It is the 10th day and I am so happy. I may or may not have tried a harder session and I may or may not have done the lizard pose. Regardless of what happened, my hips are currently on fire and I am sweating. I tried to do a hip extension…
Day 8: 30 Days of Yoga with Down Dog
I missed a few days of yoga due to just being too darn sick to do anything. My pain has gone down and my motivation is back so here I am continuing where I left off. I contemplated about starting over, but I eventually decided that life offers a few re-dos and I was not…
