Happy International Yoga Day 🙏🏼
Ah, a day of reflection.
I remember my very first yoga class so vividly, I was 17 and the room was full of older women far bendier than I, this didn’t surprise me.
However two things did take me by complete surprise, the rolling OM’s at the end (hahhaha I was so confused and had no idea how everyone ‘just’ knew what to do!) and the Shavasana. It was heaven. It was bliss. Oh my, who knew all I needed as a 17 year old was rest 😂
On this day I look back on all of the pivotal moments and it’s often not the asana or any specific practice its self that helped me. It was the teachers, the words, the poems and the space it offered me to just be, to learn to feel safe in my body so I could carry that with me every where I went.
So today I give thanks to all of my many teachers and to those who have passed their knowledge down over the millenniums so we could all be here today, with the endless amount of knowledge, tools, and support that continues to grow ❤️
