Niyamas Tapas: discipline and desire for practice

As I continue with my recovery, and focus more deeply everyday on my practice, a combination of Pilates and Yoga, I find myself enjoying thoroughly the time that I have when doing it. Tapas, was one of the Niyamas that I usually had trouble understanding and getting, but as I do my practice, Tapas, provides me with self discipline even when we are not up for getting on our mat, the desire and fire within to practice, feel better about our selves and the world around us becomes the motivator.

I find I am slow and kind with my practice, right now limited to floor, and seated and supine work, is feeling wonderful, to stretch and feel changes each day in my body. If you haven't made it to your mat today, there is still time! Namaste' Denise
