I went to classes on and off for a few years trying to decide if it was really for me.I was all over the map with what style I enjoyed. Did I like the fast paced, sweaty class or the slow deep thinking classes, could I ever understand the Chanting, would I remember what the heck Warrior 2 was? What does Namaste mean? At times I felt like Yoga was overwhelming and that I had to be like all those pe
ople in the photos that could bend like a Pretzel. My EGO did get in the way for awhile which took me away from my mat. With my health struggles both physical and mental, I was not able to do the poses like my mind thought I should. When I was told "No more headstand, no more inversions" I was bummed out. I am happy to say that I have adjusted my mind as well as my postures, I have placed the Ego on the back burner during my mat time and have accepted what is. I took my 200 hour training in Fernie in 2015 and discovered a whole new world of reaching out. Over the past year I have learned so much through different trainings, and experiences, but most of all I think my students have taught me the most. Yoga is for everyone, every age, every shape and size. I think the comment I hear most often is " I am not flexible enough to come to Yoga" and my reply is, " Saying that is like saying you are too dirty to take a bath" (author unknown) If you are ready to take the leap and want to discover Yoga come join me. You will be sure to find positive outcomes, enlighten your mind, body and soul and add a few more smiles to your day!
