October's Yogi of the Month: Brad Craig

I started yoga about 10 months ago immediately after joining Larry North. I knew nothing about yoga, only that it has a wide range of benefits. To be honest, I came away from my first class feeling completely humbled (having no flexibility, no stamina, no balance, no mental discipline). However, I knew beyond any doubt that yoga was exactly what I needed.

What is most compelling about yoga is the endless supply of challenges that must be discovered, struggled through, and eventually overcome. Achieving a pose that once seemed impossible is very rewarding and motivating.

My favorite pose(s) is any inversion. While, for me, all poses require flexibility, strength, and concentration, I like how inversions also require courage, direct confrontation of fear, and confidence (not to mention faith).

While I was expecting, and have seen, great improvements in strength, conditioning, balance, and flexibility; the most surprising benefit has been mental. This includes better focus, a general feeling of well being (that lingers days after the practice), and having a calm state of mind.

After almost a year of practice, I feel like I am only just beginning to discover what yoga can do for me. Although I have learned so much, I realize that I have only scratched the surface. I can’t wait to see where the journey leads me.
