I dodn't know when I became a yogi.
It went through stages.
Now I am a mother and a yogi.
It goes through stages.
The motherhood grounds my yoginess.
It brings me back to normal life.
Both are kind of strong.
One is not better than the other.
But both are also rather different.
Where lies the nuance?
I could never imagine that my working life,
step by step became more of a yogi-kind-of-life.
It probably suits me, as it is granted more and more
every day, to do so.
I am more a yoga practitioner and teacher, than I was before,
when I had a yoga school.
But then motherhood. It is so different.
Alone-someness becomes three-someness.
Motherhood takes all the romanticism of the yoga life away,
but also puts a new one into place.
It is because the motherhood that the yogi life has become
'real'. It is not plastic fantastic. It has become an urge and
a necessity, to support the family life.
What is my religion? Yogism or Motherhoodism?
I do yoga to support motherhood.
I don't do motherhood to support yoga.
So the motherhood is the ultimate goal and the yoga is a way?
It ain't the other way around.
Motherhood is per se.
Since I don't believe in God,
I guess that Motherhoodism is my sincere belief.
Yoga is the vehicle.
God is just the fuel.
Godaya
