When I began my Yoga journey I thought the greatest part would be the individuality of the practice, then came the community. I loved the thought of being able to be in my own space. Taking the time to be with myself, consciously creating my own breath and working on myself. I found that but I also became in love with the community. I began my practice in a gym; which quickly led me to realize how bad my flexibility had become so I registered for an online yoga studio. I took class after class until i got bored of watching other peoples pre recorded videos, I needed a bigger vibe, I needed some connection. I found some live classes on Instagram but the reliability of them became scarce so I registered for my first ever in studio class and I was hooked. I signed up for a month membership and began looking for yoga trainings, which turned into a real game changer for me. (more on that in another post), and now i’m here. My favorite part of instructing Yoga is that end of class feeling when we all individually went on the same journey but together, (does that make sense)? My favorite part of teaching Yoga is providing a service to those around me, knowing I can give someone a tool to manage all life’s adventures. My favorite part of practicing Yoga is knowing I am setting myself up for success. My practice is my tool. I use it to maintain my body, to maintain my mind, and to maintain my energy; both spiritually and physically. I do other things here and there, but I am dedicated to my practice. Before Yoga, I don’t think I ever had the opportunity to stand wide legged with my hands out and just focus on my breath; or the confidence to do so. Now, get me into a warrior 2 and there is no telling when i’m coming back out. Any time and any where my body just craves a calming chin tuck . When i’m in a tense moment I automatically remember my breath and turn straight to it. Yoga has single handedly changed the way I handle life. I still like to exercise when my time permits but my Yoga practice is not as flexible. My Yoga practice does well for my body, it does well for my mind and i am confident in it’s tradition. The tradition of Yoga caught my interest much later than the physical practice did. At first i started Yoga because I knew I needed to stretch and I’m a sucker for vibes. I’ve found the vibe and i’m hungry for more. I am truly honored that you have decided to let me be apart of your journey. As your Instructor, Teacher & Classmate I promise to continue learning new skills and areas of this tradition to provide quality classes based on modern science and traditional values.
