Yes to friends. There are days when I feel like I am drowning and it is my friends (and husband) who throw the life raft to save me.

I am so grateful you are writing about your experience. It helps each of us as we struggle with our personal demons.

What a blessing, those friends that know what we need more than we do!

There was a time in my life when I truly believe yoga saved my life and gave me a sense of purpose and worth where I felt there was none.

I'm so glad you decided to get up and go!

I know EXACTLY what you talking about. Hard times in your life shine a light on the people that really love you. I was really impressed by my friends and family. Some did exactly what I expected them too and others well...you know.

I don't get to see my real life friends nearly enough. but when I do, I am reminded how much I NEED them. I love this online community daily, even hourly, but something about the face to face and the History in knowing someone that really is the best.

I'm glad you loved Hot Yoga (and trying something new). I haven't tried it yet but my husband takes it every week and LOVES it. I think I'll have to try a few classes!

Good for you for trying something and sticking with it when you realize it is helping you!

Don't underestimate the power within yourself. You said yes! (To the class, to sobriety, to change, to so much more.)

Thank you Lora up at the top, I need to remember the same advice for myself.

So much to say. I'll tell you this makes me happy, and I'll email you with the rest. <3

Bikram yoga is awesome! I signed up for several classes and need to make a point to get back into it again! You should come up to Concord sometime and we can go to a class together and get some tea afterwards :) I love your blog so I decided to start one for my triathlon adventures!

I did hot yoga a few years ago and LOVED it. I went every week, for a few months. Then I kind of just, stopped. I remember sort of hating parts of it while doing it, but LOVING the feeling I had afterwards!

Unexpected pleasures are the best. The ones you didn't even know you'd enjoy until you tried them.

Oh, Corinne, I am so happy to hear about your positive experience with yoga. Yoga was such an important part of my life before having kids and sometimes I find my body missing it. I love the reminder you give us here to open ourselves up to new experiences in order to find things we didn't know we needed.

Beautifully written. I know the online friends through my blog have been in a class of their own... unlike any other... and some of my most appreciated supporters (whether they know it or not)! I'm glad you're in on this little "secret". ;)

I agree with the comment above...sometimes we don't know what we need/want until we're there, in the midst of it, and then it soothes us. Great post! (Found you via Chatting at the Sky.)

Thank God for sending us good friends. They are seriously lifelines when I feel like I'm on a sinking ship. So glad you've had people in real life, too, you can toss you a rope when you may need it. :)

When I was a child, I never wanted to get in the bathtub. Ugh, it would mean I'd have to stop playing. But then I'd get in and love it and never want to get out. These days it's the same with other things, such as getting up and going to church or running errands. I always enjoy myself once I'm there and am glad I did it. It's a lesson you'd think I'd remember, but I always forget! Staying home is easier, but not better. I'm glad you signed up for the classes--that will keep you going and your heart will be glad.
