| About me: |
Personally for me practicing yoga has been essential for living.
Yoga has a way of reshaping us from the center of our beings. We often come to yoga after years of living through highs and our lows. As the Buddha once said, “life is suffering”. When I arrived at my first yoga class, I was not in the mental space. I still had layers and layers and layers of protection built up in my mind+body. My physical body was stiff and achy. I had wacky hormones. My energy body was low, lacking essential vitality to get me through my days. Extreme emotions made me feel as if I wasn’t in control. Negative thoughts overwhelmed me. Throughout all this, I was not aware that I had an inner witness who could sit inside me and observe these layers of my being with non-judgement and self-awareness. I arrived to yoga during a time of my life when I could not function in daily life. I didn’t have enough energy, nor could I cope with the everyday challenge of being human. It was all too exhausting. Today, I am doing what I once only imagined was possible. I feel profoundly connected. It’s as though I’ve been plugged back into a source of energy and vitality that is essential for living. Yoga has been a vital part of this transformation. I know there are many paths to walk and many mind-body practices that make up what we refer to as yoga these days. I am so grateful for all of the incredibly creative people who have passed on their wisdom, allowing each of us today to find our own paths (and carve out new paths) that serve us and teach us what we need to learn in whatever stage of life we are experiencing. |
