There is always a reason behind...the beginning of yoga

We (me and perhaps you and many other ppl) might have heard about this but really that doesn't matter when we don't realised it and experienced it.

It was when I was 18 years old, starting my life in a new city called Bandung-West Java. I m not complaining about being alone here, I mean really alone...without any friends to start with nor any relatives at all but anyway this isn't the first time for me so I kind of relax and just go with it. Then the symptoms of my condition started after few days running in the morning..Oh God, the red spots on my legs didn't disappear even during the warm day! I started to get worried and start seeing doctors.

But really 1 thing that is really works was Yoga. Believe it or not, it has helped me alot in terms of body awareness and also controlled my temper. I was really easy to get angry (if you know me now, you won't believe how easy it was!) and my teacher straight away told me in front of my face "be vegetarian" that is all. I stood there looking at him, hoping that he would at least smile or say "that is a joke, dear" but he looked at me with his serious face. I couldn't resist but saying "yes i will try my best". So that's it. I becomes vegetarian since, surprisingly my body was ok and didn't show any difference at all :)...

My yoga teacher is German and he doesn't speak any indonesian at all so then my friend who knows that I love to learn new things introduce me to him. I was doing translation (english to indonesian) volunteer for him since, It wasn't easy to go to my yoga session it took me almost an hour with public transport :) but i love to go there...peace and calm
I wasn't doing yoga in the class but I feel good coz I can helped Indonesian ladies with health condition to get better as my yoga teacher told them what to do...later, he asked me to do it as well then when I did it, I love it even more. My teacher tought me to meditate, kirtan and many visualisation...

Soon my health was improved and especially my emotion. I was not as easy as last time to get angry or upset, that is wonderful! Then teacher has to go back to India to futher study, that is it I thought. This is the end of yoga...

But who knows about future? all I know now, this is the beginning of the yoga journey of mine...
