Ashtanga and other peoples energy

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I tend to feel drained when I am in other peoples company, which causes

me to be a fairly quiet person. The problem has been exacerbated by a

period of recreational drug use in the sense that I am much more self

conscious now.

 

I am new to ashtanga and have been doing five rounds of each surya

namaskar per day followed by some pranayama. After each session, I feel

more outgoing and less susceptible to other peoples energy but it tends

to wear off after a short while.

 

I was wondering if this increased confidence and energy boost from

ashtanga becomes more sustained with increased practice? Also, has

anyone else had similar experiences? Any input would be much

appreciated.

 

Namaste
