Lost it again....at yoga

Petunia844 · April 2012

I've been so nervous to start yoga, it's the same class I did when I was pregnant with Peyton and I knew being back there would bring up a lot, not to mention a room full of "normal" pregnant women...well I went today. I got there early so I could see the teacher before everyone else came, which was a good call because I started crying right when I got there. Then I was ok until class started...we were just doing breathing and she was saying the typical stuff about letting everything go and I lost it...had to sneak out to the bathroom and totally cry for a good 5 minutes. Then I went back in and was totally fine again until the end...she read an affirmation very similar to the one that set me off at accupunure...about my body having everything it needs to nourish my baby. I started crying again and was about to leave (this was the very and, right befor shevasena) but she came over and whispered "it's ok, you can do it" and gave me some tissues...so I stayed. At the very end of class she said " you made it!"

Whew, I just hope they get easier from here.

I know it was hard, but good for you for sticking with the entire class. Though it brought up a lot of emotions, I hope it was therapeutic to let some of it out as well. Sounds like you have a very supportive teacher.

((hugs)) I'm so glad your yogi is supportive.

I do yoga twice a week and a month or so ago my teacher started class by asking everyone to go around and say how if this is their first pregnancy.......obviously she didn't realize that is a super touchy question. We always start class with a little intro around the room but that day I just was so taken off that I didn't know what to do. I just said that I had no other children at home. After class I told my teacher that she should rephrase the question or not ask it -- she totally got my drift and since has made a change but it is really hard being in a place where you are supposed to let go, and then random things catch you and freeze you up. I hope your sessions get easier and really help you cope with all the things you are going through. Again, ((hugs))

It's sounds like you did need to stay. You need to let the emotions out so you can process them. I remember crying for two months straight. Or being angry and mad.

Thats a huge step being able to stay. Good job, momma!
