Knitting and yoga are my two favorite pass times. At the moment, I've been doing some internal spring cleaning, through lots and lots of yoga and by transitioning my diet to low-fat, raw, vegan (you can read about this adventure here if you're interested). I've been concentrating on that quite a bit over the last few weeks, which most likely accounts for my absense from my yarn-related blog.
I did, however just stumble across a workshop that inspired me to chat a little, so here I am.
Julie has scheduled a yoga, meditation, knitting workshop that conveniently is only 45 minutes from where I'm living! How perfect is this? I'm pretty excited about it. I love learning about how people have incorporated the two into their lives. I find, that knitting and yoga balance each other perfectly, and it's healthy for me to have both in my life.
It just dawned on me, that I tend to go back and forth between being yoga obsessed and knitting obsessed. It will be an interesting experiment for me to work toward doing BOTH daily. My yoga is generally energizing, and in addition to the amount of energy I've gained from eating mostly fruits the past few days, I haven't been able to quiet myself enough to pick up knitting needles.
I'm thinking I might try continuing my yoga in the mornings, and trying to lower my energy levels in the evenings by eating something grounding, ie: less fruit. Then I'll knit something—even if it's just a few rows—as a form of meditation. I think I'll give that a try tonight.
How do you incorporate yoga and knitting together into your daily life?
