Uncommon for me to write such a long and emo post but I still have to write Few weeks ago when Master Manoj told me to do a short performance on the Grand opening day of Trust Yoga, I was thinking, you must be crazy because you are asking a girl who is always hiding at a corner during class to perform in front of so many people.
I was relaxed all the way until 3 days ago, I became nervous because I have not prepared anything ??‍♀️ I told him I DON’T WANT to do scorpion, ‘what if I fall in front of everyone?’ He said ‘no option, if you fall, just fall, it’s ok but I know you will make it.’
Yesterday I did my 1st yoga performance. I didn’t manage to get into scorpion during my warm up before the performance, in my mind it was like ‘that’s it, I’m dead !’ The performance went on, I managed to get into a ‘quick’ scorpion. It wasn’t perfect, lots of hiccups, I was nervous, my hands and feet were cold, legs shaking and I actually looked like a skeleton moving (long limps, skinny, in white ) . However, it’s a huge achievement for me, never will I expect myself to perform in front of so many people (familiar and unfamiliar faces).
I’m flexible but I’m not naturally flexible. I’m not strong but I’m not weak either. I love yoga and put my heart and effort into my practice to achieve where I am today. Of course there’s still alot of work in progress and I will continue to learn.
Thank you Master Manoj for this opportunity, for teaching me, for believing that I can even when I don’t even believe in myself. For giving us such a nice place at Trust yoga to practice. Thank you teacher Aarekh for making me less nervous by telling me, it will always be better when we are performing in front of others. Thank you to all the friends at Trust Yoga, for sharing good vibes and making my yoga journey such an enjoyable one. Love all of you! ? XOXO
