How I Relax On My Yoga Mat

I was introduced to yoga by my friend a few years ago and though I have read all about the yoga philosophy I do not embrace all the rules but use it to suit my own purposes. I am a hard working business women with lots of work related stress and very little time. I have developed the habit of preparing dinner when I come home from work and then getting my yoga mat and spending as much time as possible in deep relaxation until my husband comes home. He does not disturb my concentration, but instead is very considerate in allowing me more relaxation time by starting dinner. Even though it involves vigorous exercise, I find it very relaxing I affords me the opportunity to relax my mind, to take stock of the day’s events and often to solve any problems I have encountered that day. My yoga mat has a special significance for me, because it is the first one I bought. It was not expensive but whatever it cost it was worth every dime I paid. As soon as I pick up my yoga mat the stresses of the day begin to dwindle and before I roll it out I give it a hug which my husband finds very amusing but he knows how important my yoga is to me and supports me totally. I tried to get him to take up yoga, even promising to buy him a yoga mat for his birthday, but he declined saying that he preferred fishing and that, for him, had exactly the same effect. He suggested that a better idea would be a new fishing rod, and I had to agree with. I make many of my boardroom decisions on my yoga mat but I suppose thsat applies to the golf course and the river bank equally.
