Listen to your body, I said as I led my yoga class through some asanas. And stopped. I stumbled out of the pose and to the left, gripping the stereo with my left hand and covering my mouth with my right. I imagined if I could see myself in the mirror my face would have…
Perseverance. Dedication. Focus. Strength. Spirit. Goals. Commitment. This sucks. Triumph.
