Dear Woodsy, I read your post and I'm deeply touched by your story. I think you've shared your story for us readers of this blog in such beautiful way that I felt like you are telling me directly (haha!).
I am new in learning yoga, been in love with YWA videos, currently in my 10th day of 30-Days of Yoga Challenge, feeling somehow connected with other Yogis through YWA.
I hope you continue on being brave and have a wonderful life 😀

Sometimes during practice I feel this chix is crazy(I am on 15th day from the 30 days of yoga with the half moon pose) but I started to like it by now,even downward facing dog and I have to say it feels easier to get into the flow and make it through the sessions without stop.
Adrien,you are amazing...crazy but amazing and thank you for making me laugh!:-)

Woodsy, thank you for sharing your story. I have been suffering with chronic costochondritis and upper (and lower) back pain for about 4 years due to the way in which I responded to a family trauma - I shut down, shut everyone out, and lost sight of my center. I have come a long way on the road to mental recovery but my body is still in terrible pain. Yoga has been put in front of me a million times and each time I've dabbled in but not embraced it because of my own fears of letting go. Your story has inspired me to take the plunge. THANK YOU. I greatly appreciate your naming that it took time, too. I am awfully impatient and want things to get better immediately so it it good to be reminded that patience is key to perseverance. Namaste.

I so relate to what you said about being in a city that doesn't feel like home and having family that doesn't seem to support or understand you. I feel that I'm on a journey that is so lonely at times, and I have built a shell around me to protect my true self from the people who don't understand. It's so hard to take the leap of faith to do what's best for your soul, and I have said 'no' out of fear so many times. I hope that I get an opportunity like you did, Woodsy, and this time, I want to say 'yes!'

Thank you for your refreshing honesty! I too am feeling trapped in a life I do not like- a job that exhausts me and stifles my creativity. I hope one day to take a leap like you! And PLEASE somebody tell me how and where to find out about the next FWG retreat because I am SO THERE.
