Tough out the stress of big transitions.

November 13th, 2008

Everything is going along at an even keel, sometimes even for years, when suddenly… you’re starting a new job. Moving. Getting married. Having a baby. Going off to school. Making a major life transition. That means a lot of planning, doing and upheaval in a compressed amount of time. The stress can be intense, unrelenting. Endure it with the knowledge that while it may be daunting, it’s only temporary. Use the prospect of new and exciting things to get past the current turmoil. And have faith that the bumps will soon even out and your life will once again assume a level of normalcy. Why make yourself crazy?   

There are many different types of yoga, and starting with a beginner class will open up a whole new world of exercise for you. You can go for more meditative classes that focus on breath and connection to the world. Or you can get your heart rate up with some flow yoga which will keep you moving from pose to pose, or really challenge yourself with Bikram Yoga, which is performed in a 105F room and gets you sweating.
