Affirmations Based on My Yoga Practice
When I first learned about yoga in my early 20s, I was impressed by the spiritual aspect of it. I had been introduced to a form of martial arts called Jiu Jitsu when I was twenty and found the stretching, breathing, and focus to be both exhilarating and empowering.
