I’ve been practicing yoga for almost a decade and completed my 200hr teacher training with Shakti Vinyasa in Seattle, WA. Although my training specialized in a more powerful form of yoga, I tend to personally gravitate towards the softer styles that encourage a flow that can almost become a meditation. When I first started practicing, it felt like a foreign and strange exercise. I would often get bored, find my mind wandering, and wonder what I was even doing in class in the first place. But the one consistent thing that kept me coming back was that I always felt incredible after class. What I didn’t realise when I first started practicing, was that emotionally, I was holding onto a lot of baggage; mentally, I was often thinking mean thoughts about myself without even noticing, and physically; I was not giving my body the movement it needed to feel good after I sat down in an office chair all day. All of this was happening without me having any awareness of it. A few months into my practice of coming to class once per week, I started to feel something major change inside me. I suddenly noticed the mean thoughts I was having, and through practicing mindfulness, I was able to stop them. I noticed the amount of emotional ‘stuff’ I was carrying, and through the practice of surrendering into those deep, opening poses, I was able to practice letting go. And through spending time every week on this movement practice, I became more in tune with my body and even developed a deep love and appreciation for it. I believe yoga is a powerful force in self-awareness and awakening. It has helped me love myself, trust myself and be true to myself and I know it can be powerful in one way or another for you too!
