The Choice – Convenience vs Commitment
I attended another weekend yoga workshop in Bellur this weekend. This time I didn’t stay overnight (here’s a short video of what its like to attend an overnight yoga retreat there). I drove down on Saturday and reached in time for the evening session. By the time I got home it was 10 pm. The next morning I returned, starting the journey at 6 am.
Last time I took Kalindi and Animesh with me, but it’s now 15 months postpartum and I feel it’s time to start attending retreats without the necessity of taking my entire household with me. Honestly, I never thought what yoga retreats after childbirth would be. But I instinctively knew I shouldn’t wait for when I’m ready. I will have to coerce myself to remember how wonderfully valuable and transformative these immersions are, and that might me resist the temptation of convenience and remember my commitment.
