Kungani Ukuhlukana Kosuku LukaValentine Kube Yinto Enhle Kakhulu Eyenzeka Kimi
-Delile
Ngo-2014, ngaphuma ebudlelwaneni obuyiminyaka eyisishiyagalombili ngemuva kokubamba isoka lami nomuntu engingamazi ngenkathi ngisesikebheni semibhangqwana yoSuku Lwezithandani. Bengingaqiniseki ukuthi ngizobuya kanjani kulokho ngize ngihlangane nomuntu engichofoze naye impela ngalowo nyaka. Ngeshwa, nakuba ngangibufuna ngempela ubuhlobo, akazange. Ngemuva kokusebenza nokungasebenzi izinyanga, wanquma ukuqeda izinto nami-futhi ngoSuku Lwezithandani. (Ngokuzimisela bafana, angikwazi ukwenza le nto.)
Ngaleso sikhathi, ngangigula kakhulu ngakho konke. Ngangisanda kudlula ekhefini futhi. Ngenxa yalokho, ngangingagxili emsebenzini wami futhi ngase ngisonqenqemeni lokuxoshwa, futhi ngangimane nje ngisesimweni esibi ngaphakathi nangaphandle.
Ngabona ukuthi ngidinga ukwenza okuhlukile. Ngangenzela wonke umuntu konke futhi ngangingazinaki mina kulo msebenzi. Ngakho-ke nginqume ukuthi ngiqale ukwenza i-yoga eshisayo, uyazi, Nethezeka. Ngemuva kokusesha okusheshayo kwe-Google, nginqume ukuhamba neLyons Den Power Yoga ikakhulukazi ngoba bengicabanga ukuthi ilogo yabo ilungile.
Ngenkathi ngingena ekilasini, izibani zazifiphele, futhi ngacabanga ukuthi "Ah, lokhu kuphelele-yilokho engikufunayo," nasezindleleni uBethany Lyons, ongumfundisi wethu. Ucishe ukukhanya njalo wathi: "Akekho olele kulobubusuku." Bengingazi ukuthi ngizobhalisela ini.
Ekupheleni kwekilasi, ngase ngijuluke ngimanzi te ngemuva kokuqeda omunye wemisebenzi enzima kakhulu empilweni yami, kodwa ngase ngikulungele ngokuphelele okunye. Kungakho ngalobo busuku ngabhalisela Uhlelo lwabo Lwezinsuku Ezingu-40 Lwenguquko Yomuntu Siqu, olubandakanya izinsuku eziyisithupha ze-yoga ngesonto kanye nomsebenzi wokuzindla nokuziphendulela.
Ngokushesha ngemuva kokuqala uhlelo, ngabona masisha ukuthi ngaphezu kokusebenza nje ngokungaguquguquki izinsuku ezingama-40, kungiphoqelela ukuthi ngizibekele isikhathi sami, ebengisidinga kakhulu. Ngifunde ukuzakhela owami umkhuba weyoga nokuzindla, oqale ngemizuzu eyi-15 wakhula waba yihora eliqinile. Ngoba ngangingenzeli lutho nhlobo ngaphambi kwalokho, ukufaka konke lokho empilweni yami kwakuyinselele kodwa into engayifunda ukukwazisa ngokujulile.

Ekupheleni kwalezo zinsuku ezingama-40, benginethemba lokuthi ngizovuka ngiguqulwe ngomlingo ngibe yisimodel enamandla futhi zonke izinkinga zami phuphu! uhambe. Kodwa ngenkathi umzimba wami wawushintsha ngempela, impumelelo enkulu kakhulu kwaba yindlela engazizwa nginamandla ngayo ukuze ngiqhubeke nempilo yami-indlela engafunda ngayo ukuthola induduzo lapho ngingakhululekile futhi ngijabulele umzuzu wamanje ngokumelene nomzabalazo phakathi nosuku lwami.

Ngemuva kokuqeda izinsuku ezingama-40, ngaqhubeka nokuzijwayeza i-yoga njalo. Ezinyangeni ezinhlanu sengiwenza lo msebenzi, ngabhalisela ukuqeqeshelwa ukufundisa ngothisha eLyons Den neBethany, okwaba yisizathu sokuthi ngibe sengithanda kakhulu i-yoga kwasekuqaleni. Futhi, bengingazi ukuthi ngilindeleni, noma noma ngabe bengifuna ukufundisa-kepha bengazi ukuthi ngifuna ukufunda kabanzi nge-yoga.
Ngenkathi ngiqeqeshelwa ukuba ngumfundisi, ngamenyelwa ekilasini leCrossFit noKenny Santucci eSolace New York.Nginqume ukuthi ngizame futhi ngikhumbule ngicabanga ukuthi "Hawu ngenza yonke le yoga manje, ukuze ngikwazi ukuyiphatha ngokuphelele le nto." Nganginephutha kakhulu. Kungakapheli imizuzu engama-20 nganginamandla amakhulu futhi ngicabanga ukuthi sekudlule ihora lonke. Kwakungenjalo. Kwakusasele imizuzu engu-40 ukuthi sihambe.
Indaba ende, uKenny wangikhahlela isinqe. Ngonyaka odlule, ngaba yilungu lesikhathi esigcwele futhi bengilokhu ngiphuza i-Bootcamp/CrossFit kool-aid kusukela ngaleso sikhathi. Amakilasi anoKenny afana nolunye uhlobo lwe-yoga, ngaphandle kwama-dumbbell kanye namajamu e-AC/DC. Uyangicindezela futhi angigqugquzele nsuku zonke ukuthi ngiphume endaweni yami yokunethezeka futhi angisoze ngakhokhela okungaphansi kokusemandleni ami. (Kuzwakala kuyinto ongathanda ukuyizama? Nakhu ukuthi ungayisebenzisa kanjani i-CrossFit ohlelweni lwakho lokuzivocavoca.)
Ngiyawuthanda umuzwa womphakathi emakilasini okufaneleka kweqembu. Kunokuthile ngokuba semiseleni nokuthatha amabhomu ndawonye; lobo budlelwane buyikho konke kimi. Abantu abakulezi zifundo bakhona ngenxa yakho (futhi abakwazi ngisho nokukwazi!), okunikeza umuzwa womndeni, ikakhulukazi uma ubhekene nesikhathi esinzima. Ukuzibophezela ekukhuleni kwami kanye nakubantu abangizungezile yilokho okunginika amandla okuqhubeka-noma ngabe lokho kudlula kwenye iChaturanga noma ukwenza enye i-kettlebell swing.
Namuhla, ngizilolonga futhi ngifundisa i-yoga okungenani izikhathi ezine ngeviki futhi ngichitha izinsuku eziyisithupha ngenza i-CrossFit. Zombili lezi zinqubo ziye zashintsha indlela yami yokucabanga futhi ngaleyo ndlela zashintsha umzimba wami nempilo yami yonke. Nginokubonga okukhulu, uthando, nokuncoma le miphakathi emibili. Kungenxa yabo ukuthi umzimba wami wangaphandle uwumfanekiso oqondile walokho okwenzeka ngaphakathi.
Manje, sekucishe kwaphela iminyaka emithathu ukwehlukana kwami. Ngikubheka emuva manje futhi ngibonga kakhulu ngoba bekungenye yezinto ezinhle kakhulu ezake zenzeka empilweni yami. Kungenxa yaleso senzakalo lapho ngingena khona emandleni ami ngafunda ukuthanda mina.
