Twenty Years
20 years ago I started practicing yoga as an adult. My first few classes consisted of more gentle movements. The classes were included in a workplace wellness program at the company I worked for at the time. I eventually found the Bikram Hot Yoga College of India studio in the area. And began a fourteen year journey with Hot Yoga. I enjoyed the warm room and the feeling of releasing toxins through my sweat. Initially I was very stiff, even though I worked out a lot at the gym, and walked and rode the stationary bicycle at home. I also found that a few old injuries were still with me. One in particular was around my ankles. I think this was from wearing high heals a lot and also roller skating when I was younger. But after doing yoga for the first few years I regained the full range of motion in my ankles, stopped wearing high heels, but today I still enjoy roller skating and my ankles feels much better too. At that time I met many other people who practiced other types of yoga.
