From Me to We. And WE wanna go to Bali & India.
Holy wow, exciting things are happening.
We’ve been in our yoga paradise almost 2 weeks now taking a 1.5 hour class nearly everyday. We’re sweating, we’re stretching in ways we never thought possible, and I’m saying ‘WE’.
So Kyle and I have been together for ~5 years now and married half of that, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s not to push him. Kyle’s the most easy going guy, until it’s something he’s really not into, then forget it. I’ve tried on multiple occasions over the years to get my man soaking in a down dog, and it’s never quite caught on. Now, though, things are different. We get up at 7am everyday and have had some amazing classes. He’s seen the light.
Months ago, we decided to set off to southeast Asia to 1) work on our online business and 2) for me to try more yoga. But now it’s ‘we’ - not just me - looking for a yoga journey.
Smiles of yoga bliss.
So what’s the big deal, “great, your husband’s into yoga too.” Well, the big deal is that we’re both so into it now that we’re looking past some traveling we wanted to do in southeast Asia to focus even more on yoga. It’s something we can share it as we both grow into our practices. It started with a subtle mention from our amazing yoga instructor Jen, “you know, you guys would love a few places I studied in India…” India? We would love India!
The thing about India is it’s a journey I’ve long dreamt about. I set it aside waiting for a time when I was ready for a few month spiritual journey. It’s intense there: parts are poor, super-populated and sometimes dirty, and it’s also filled with spiritual gems, beauty and peace. And of course, thousands of years of yoga tradition. I’ve been waiting for a time like now, when I’m in search of something. Hot damn. Sign me up.
So, when are we going? TBD. What’s important is the seed has been planted. In the meantime, we’re pushing back plans to explore Cambodia, and we’re going to Bali. Lookout yoga, we’re coming to getchya.
