• Uphengululo lwe

Kangangeminyaka eyi-10, ndandisilwa nengxaki yokutya—ethiywa kukutya yaye ndilikhoboka lokuzilolonga. Kodwa njengoko ndafunda kwiminyaka yonyango ngaphambi kokuba ndiqalise ukuchacha, i<em>bulimia yayiluphawu kuphela. Ukufuna ukwenza izinto ngendlela egqibeleleyo yayikukugula. Kwaye emva xa i-bulimia yayilawula ubomi bam, iyoga yondla isigulo sam sokuphelela.

Enyanisweni, andizange ndibe ngumlandeli omkhulu we-yoga kuba engqondweni yam, ukuba andizange ndibile, ngoko ayizange "ibale" njengokuzivocavoca. I-Yoga "yokuphumla" yayingaphandle kombuzo. Ke iBikram yaba yeyam yoga. Ukubila "kwangqina" ndasebenza nzima, kwaye ndandisazi ukuba ndiza kutshisa iikhalori ezininzi kwiklasi nganye nokuba yintoni na. Ubushushu babunganyamezeleki kwaye bulingana nomnqweno wam wokutyhala ngaphaya kwemida yam. Ndandisoloko ndibaxa, ngokufuthi ndizenzakalisa ngenxa yoko. Kodwa ndisebenzise ngokupheleleyo ubulungu bam benyanga njengoko ndandinako kwaye ngekhe ndiphoswe ngumfundi-ogulayo, owenzakeleyo, okanye enye indlela. Ilizwi lomzimba wam belithe cwaka ngoba ilizwi lengxaki yokutya ibilelona lizwi liphezulu emhlabeni wam ngoko.

Ukubala nokulawula kwandenza ndaphazamiseka kwindlela enditya ngayo. Ndingatya iikhalori ezingaphi? Zingaphi iiyure endinokuzisebenza ukuze ndizitshise? Ndilinganise kangakanani? Zingaphi iintsuku ndide ndibenobunzima obungaphantsi? Ndingakanani ubungakanani? Zingaphi izidlo endinokuzitsiba okanye ndizitye kwaye ndiphose ukuze zip up ubungakanani obuncinci? Kwaye ezo zimo zifanayo ezingama-26 ezifunekayo kwi-Bikram-imijikelo emibini yayo yonke indawo, yonke iklasi yemizuzu engama-90-yondla kuphela ukugqibelela kwam kunye nemfuno yam yolawulo.

Ngamafutshane, iBikram kunye nengxaki yam yokutya yayiyinto enye. I-trifecta yokungaguquguquki, iipateni, kunye nocwangco kwagcina ukuthanda kwam ukugqibelela kuchuma. Yayibubugxwayiba, obunokuxelwa kwangaphambili, obuvalelekileyo, kunye nendlela yobomi enomda ngendlela emangalisayo.

Emva koko ndabetheka etyeni. Ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndimele ndiphelise konke ukungaziphathi kakuhle ukuba ndifuna ukuyeka ukubuyela umva, into eyayihlala ihleli ekuqaleni kokubuyiselwa kwam. Ndandigula ndidiniwe kukugula kwaye ndidiniwe kwaye ndikulungele ukwenza nantoni na ukuze nditshintshe-kubandakanya nokuyeka iBikram. Bendikwazi ukubuyela kwimeko yesiqhelo kwaye iBikram, ebibandakanya ukohlwaya umzimba wam endaweni yokubhiyozela ukomelela kwayo, ibingasekho. Ndifuna ukuthanda impilo kwakhona. Ngoko ke kwafuneka ndibuyele umva kwaye ndinethemba lokuba ngenye imini ndingakwazi ukubuyisela umva ndinesimo sengqondo esinempilo.

Kwiminyaka elishumi kamva, ndenza kanye loo nto. Ndavuma ukuthatha iklasi ye-Bikram kwikhaya lam elitsha e-Los Angeles nomhlobo omtsha-hayi kuba ndifuna ukuvavanya inkqubela-phambili yam yokuchacha okanye kuba ndacinga nangolawulo lwayo olubi ebomini bam. Ndandifuna nje ukwazi umntu omtsha kwisixeko sam esitsha. Yayilula ngoluhlobo. Kwakungekade ndibonakalise kwaye iklasi yaqala apho ndakhumbula ukuba uBikram wayethetha ukuthini kum. Ndabanjiswa zizinto zam zangaphambili. Kodwa yayixhobisa ukuba yamkelwe ngokupheleleyo, ngaphandle koloyiko lokubakho. (Idibeneyo: Iposi yoMzimba oPheleleyo oQalile ngayo ubuhlobo obuhle be-IRL)

Yonke into eklasini yemizuzu engama-90 ekhukhulayo yayintsha nayo. Ndime ngqo emva komnye umntu kwaye ndingaziboni esipilini. Le nto yayiza kundingcungcuthekisa ngaphambili. Bendihlala ndisiya eklasini kwangethuba ukuze ndikhusele indawo kumqolo ongaphambili. Ngapha koko, ibiyindawo enye kwiklasi nganye, kwaye wonke umntu eklasini ebeyazi. Yayiyinxalenye yomnqweno wam wokuba yonke into ibe ngocwangco. Nangona kunjalo, ngeli xesha, andizange ndicinge ngombono ovaliweyo, njengoko wandivumela ukuba ndimamele umzimba wam ngokwenene, kungekhona nje ukuwubona-into eyisibophelelo semihla ngemihla kum namhlanje.

Emva koko, ndiye ndaqonda ukuba ngelixa iklasi isekhona ngokufanayo, i "entsha" ayisayazi ipateni. Yayiyimvakalelo ebukhali ukuzinikela kukuzithemba kwangalo mzuzu. Ukuhlonipha indawo yokwazi kodwa ungazi ngokwenene. Ukuze ufumane i-Bikram yoga ngaphandle bulimia.

"Ukuba ufuna ukuphumla nanini na, lala ngomqolo eSavasana. Kodwa zama nje ukuba ungaphumi kwigumbi," utshilo utitshala. Ndandikhe ndawuva lo myalelo amaxesha amaninzi ngaphambili. Kodwa emva kweminyaka eli-10, ndamamela. Ngaphambili, andizange ndiphumle eSavasana. (Ewe, kuyo yonke inyani, andizange ndiphumle ixesha.)

Ngeli xesha ndikhe ndaphumla, ndaya eSavasana rhoqo. Ingqondo yam yabhadula yajonga indlela olunokukhathazeka ngayo olu hambo lokubuyisela ukuphazamiseka kokutya. Nangona kunjalo bendisazi ukuba kanye njengokuba kukho izibonelelo zempilo ngokuhlala kwigumbi eliseBikram, kukho izibonelelo zempilo ngokuhlala kule ndlela yokuchacha. Ndikhunjuzwe ngalo mzuzu ukuba xa uxinzelelo lukhona, uxolo lokwazi ukuba wenza konke okusemandleni akho lukomeleza. Ndangqengqa ndimamele umzimba wam-elona lizwi lalinamandla egumbini- kwaye ndandinoxolo lwenene eSavasana, ndinombilo neenyembezi zovuyo zihamba zisihla ebusweni bam.

Ndaphuma eSavasana (kunye neseshoni yam yonyango lomntu) xa utitshala wachaza ukuba inkamela yayiza kulandela. Le pose yayidla ngokuba ngumceli mngeni omkhulu xa ndandifunda kunye ne-bulimia. Ndafunda emva phaya ukuba le pose inokuvula iimvakalelo zakho, kwaye le yayiyinto ye-bulimia ayivumeli ngokwenyani. Noko ke, emva kokusebenza nzima iminyaka elishumi, ndandingasenaloyiko lokungena kwesi simo sengqondo sokunikezela. Ngapha koko, ndiyenzile yomibini imijikelezo yale pose, ndiphefumla ngokunzulu, ukuvuleka kwentliziyo ngokubanzi, nangaphezulu kokubulela ngokukhula.

Yabona, le yinxalenye eyoyikekayo ngohambo lokuchacha-ukuba uthe wanamathela kuyo, ngenye imini uyakujonga phezulu kwaye into enganyamezelekiyo iyakonwabisa. Into ekuzisele iinyembezi zentlungu izokuzisela iinyembezi zovuyo. Apho bekukho uloyiko kuya kubakho uxolo, kwaye iindawo apho uziva ubotshiwe ziya kuba ziindawo apho uziva ukhululekile.

Ndabona ukuba le klasi yeBikram yayingumthandazo ophenduliweyo ocacileyo. Kwaye okona kubaluleke kakhulu, ndiye ndaqonda ukuba ngokuhamba kwexesha kunye nomonde, ndifunde ngokwenyani ukuba ndilungile ngokuzilolonga, ukutya, abantu, amathuba, iintsuku, kunye nobomi ngokubanzi "obungagqibelelanga."
