Skating and Yoga: Chapter 1 - Raisha’s finds insight to the real world through this contrary couple.


This week I’ve been back on my skateboard for the first time since the first time.  Just casually.  I realized it’s virtually impossible to skate to and from work. It’s stressful enough to be a pedestrian in the city, trying to skate is like trying to rap a viscous Kendrick verse with little to no breaths and dab flawlessly in time for the bass drop . In the wise words of  RUN-DMC .... It’s tricky. So I just go around my area in the evening. I found this really great trail along the harbour it’s so nice!

I see these guys skating in Hyde Park almost every day now I do one of those cool and composed head nods to signal confirmation of their skatrobaticss .  jk lol I can barely walk in a straight line forget trying to not get run over and look like I know anything about skateboarding.

Inhale, change , exhale, cobra pose, inhale, jump or step forward to downward dog, exhale and hold downward dog. Feel your breath, let you head relax, hands closer together hun.

Saturday I attended my first ever yoga class!!  It was nice. I was late and sweaty, I missed stretches . When I got there we were starting a routine of breath, pose, breath, new pose etc. Starting very slowly, very calm, getting slightly faster and than doing it in almost one continues motion.

Honestly yoga felt very confidence restoring for me. I felt capable and calm and cool. Also the simplicity of strength is so under rated. Holding the downward dog whilst controlling breathing seems like forever. I’ve never like an orthodox work out. Sometimes I look at people jogging and want to throw donuts and couches. It’s like a subconscious self induced form of torture!! That’s just my very dramatic, very individual opinion. Anyways yoga is strengthening in terms of focus, relaxation and simple yet very involving movement.

Which got me contriving one of my maybe farfetched yet maybe exactly what the human race needs to be saved, theories.  SKATBOARDING AND YOGA ARE SO SIMILAR.

Think about it

Ah.. Uh huh. Yeaahhh. Okay so you’re with me.

Balance, focus, strength, confidence, homies,  %100 bitches will want you guarantee.

Goodness golly Raisha why so gang ster today. IT’S CALLED A REVELATION. I’m hyped up , flowing, kick push, I’m going, inhale exhale, yoga ing . word

Next Saturday hopefully I’m off and I can go again, who knows what kind of revolutionary cognitive, imaginative, connections will exude from my being as I inhale, kick, exhale , push through this week.

Until then, if you need to read something from the real world to bring yourself back to clarity. Options may include: the American election, vegan recipes or memes combining the two... Better yet sleep till next week and come back here!

Ps. T- minus 2 weeks until I leave for the road trip. Wow wow!!! AND IM TRYING TO BUY TICKETS TO SEESTICKY FINGERS OCT 28 ENMORE. PRAY FOR ME.
