Ngo-2014, ndaphuma kubudlelwane beminyaka esibhozo emva kokuba ndibambe isithandwa sam nomntu endingamaziyo ngelixa izibini zihamba ngenqanawa ngoSuku lweValentine. Andizange ndiqiniseke ukuba ndiza kubuya njani kuloo nto de ndidibane nomntu endicofe naye kanye kulo nyaka. Ngelishwa, nangona bendifuna nyani ubudlelwane, akazange. Emva kokuhlala kunye nokucima iinyanga, wagqiba kwelokuba aphelise izinto kunye nam-kwakhona ngoSuku lweValentine. (Ngokukrakra bafana, andinakuyenza le nto.)

Ngelo xesha, ndandigula kakhulu. Ndandisandula ukuphuma kwikhefu kwakhona. Ngenxa yoko, ndandingagxili emsebenzini wam kwaye ndandisecicini lokugxothwa, kwaye ndandikwimo embi ngaphakathi nangaphandle.

Ndabona ukuba kufuneka ndenze enye into eyahlukileyo. Bendisenzela yonke into umntu wonke kwaye ndingazihoyi kwinkqubo. Ndiye ndagqiba ekubeni ndiqale ukwenza i-yoga eshushu, uyazi, Phola. Emva kophando olukhawulezayo lukaGoogle, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndihambe neLyons Den Power Yoga ikakhulu kuba ndicinga ukuba uphawu lwazo lulungile.

Njengoko ndandingena eklasini, izibane zazimnyama, kwaye ndacinga ukuba "Ah, le yinto egqibeleleyo-iyona nto ndiyifunayo," kunye noBethany Lyons, umqeqeshi wethu. Wakhanyisa zonke izibane wathi: "Akukho mntu ulalayo ngobu busuku." Ndandingazi ukuba ndibhalisele ntoni.

Ukuphela kweklasi, ndandisele ndibile ndimanzi xhopho emva kokugqiba enye yezona zinto zinzima ebomini bam, kodwa ndandikulungele ngokupheleleyo oko. Yiyo loo nto ngobo busuku ndityikitye iiNtsuku ezingama-40 kwiNkqubo yoVukelo lobuqu, ebandakanya iintsuku ezintandathu zeyoga ngeveki kunye nokucamngca kunye nomsebenzi wokuzibuza.

Kungekudala emva kokuqalisa inkqubo, ndakhawuleza ndaqonda ukuba ngaphezulu kokusebenza ngokungaguquguqukiyo kangangeentsuku ezingama-40, kundinyanzele ukuba ndizenzele ixesha lam, ebendilifuna kakhulu. Ndifunde ukuzakhela eyam i-yoga kunye nokuziqhelanisa nokucamngca, eyaqala ngemizuzu eyi-15 kwaye yakhula yaba yiyure eqinileyo. Kuba ndandingazenzela nto ngaphambili, ukudibanisa konke oko ebomini bam kwakulucelomngeni kodwa into endayifundayo ukuyixabisa ngokunzulu.

Ekupheleni kweentsuku ezingama-40, bendinethemba lokuba ndiza kuvuka nditshintshe ngomlingo ndenze isupermodel eyomeleleyo kwaye zonke iingxaki zam phof! uhambe. Kodwa ngelixa umzimba wam utshintshile ngokuqinisekileyo, eyona mpumelelo inkulu yayiyindlela endiye ndaziva ndinamandla ngayo ukuthatha ubomi bam-indlela endafunda ngayo ukufumana intuthuzelo kwizinto ezingathandekiyo kwaye ndonwabele ixesha langoku ngokuchasene nomzabalazo kwimini yam. (Idibeneyo: Eyona Yoga ilungileyo yokuThoba umzimba, ukomelela, kunye nokunye)

Emva kokugqiba iintsuku ezingama-40, ndaqhubeka ndisenza i-yoga rhoqo. Kwiinyanga ezintlanu ndisebenza, ndityikitye uqeqesho lwaseLyons Den loqeqesho kunye neBethany, yayisesona sizathu sokuba ndibambelele kwiyoga kwasekuqaleni. Kwakhona, bendingazi ukuba ndilindele ntoni, okanye nokuba bendifuna ukufundisa-kodwa bendisazi ukuba ndifuna ukufunda okungakumbi ngeyoga.

Ngoxa ndandiqeqeshelwa ukuba ngumhlohli, ndamenywa kwiklasi yeCrossFit noKenny Santucci eSolace New York.Ndigqibe kwelokuba ndizame kwaye ndikhumbule ukucinga ukuba "Oh ndiyenza yonke le yoga ngoku, ukuze ndikwazi ukuyiphatha yonke le nto." Ndaphazama kakhulu. Kwisithuba semizuzu engama-20 bendine-hyperventilating kwaye ndicinga ukuba iyure iphelile. Ayizange ibe njalo. Sasinemizuzu engama-40 ukuba sihambe.

Ibali elide elifutshane, uKenny wandikhaba. Kunyaka ophelileyo, ndiye ndaba lilungu elipheleleyo kwaye bendisela i-Bootcamp / CrossFit kool-aid ukusukela ngoko. Iiklasi kunye noKenny zifana nolunye uhlobo lweyoga, ngaphandle kweedumbbells kunye ne-AC / DC jam. Uyandityhala kwaye uyandikhuthaza yonke imihla ukuba ndiphume kwindawo yam yokuthuthuzela kwaye ndingaze ndizinze nantoni na engaphantsi kokungcono kwam. (Kuvakala ngathi ungathanda ukuzama le nto?

Ndiyayithanda imeko yoluntu ekuhlaleni kwiiklasi zokomelela komzimba. Kukho into malunga nokuba semseleni nokuthatha iziqhushumbisi kunye; obo buhlobo buyinto yonke kum. Abantu kwezi klasi bakhona ngenxa yakho (kwaye abakwazi nokukwazi!), Enika imvakalelo yosapho, ngakumbi ukuba utyhubela ixesha elinzima. Ukuzibophelela ekukhuleni kwam kunye nokwabantu abandijikelezileyo kuko okundinika amandla okuqhubeka-nokuba kukutyhala kwenye i-Chaturanga okanye ukwenza enye i-kettlebell swing.

Namhlanje, ndiqhuba kwaye ndifundisa i-yoga ubuncinane kane ngeveki kwaye ndichitha iintsuku ezintandathu ndenza i-CrossFit. Zombini ezi zinto ziyenzileyo ziye zayiguqula indlela yam yokucinga ngaloo ndlela zaguqula umzimba wam nobomi bam bonke. Ndinombulelo ongazenzisiyo, uthando, kunye nokuncoma kwezi ndawo zimbini. Kungenxa yabo ukuba umzimba wam wangaphandle ubonisa ngokuthe ngqo oko kwenzekayo ngaphakathi.

Ngoku, sele iphantse ibe yiminyaka emithathu okoko kwahlukana kwam. Ndijonge ngasemva kuyo ngoku kwaye ndinombulelo kakhulu kuba ibiyenye yezona zinto zibalaseleyo zakha zenzeka ebomini bam. Kungenxa yaloo mava ukuba ndiye ndangena kumandla am ndaza ndafunda ukuthanda ngokwam.
