Continuing our International women’s day celebration with Abigail…
“I’m inspired by all the incredible women around me. The ones quietly building lives, supporting their friends, starting businesses, starting families, showing up even when things feel hard and carving a path for themselves in a world that doesn’t always make it that easy. That everyday resilience is something I deeply admire and I feel lucky to be surrounded by women who embody it!
A moment yoga made me feel powerful (or the first of many times it made me feel powerful) was the first class I ever went to back in 2019 when I was recovering from an injury, it was Christie’s beginners yoga class and I walked in thinking yoga was mostly stretching, but during that first session I felt a sense of quiet I don’t think I’d experienced before. It showed me that yoga wasn’t about forcing shapes or pushing through pain, but about listening to my body and moving at my own pace. That moment made me realise our bodies, breath and minds are capable of far more than we often give them credit for and I left that class with a deep appreciation for the practice and a knowing that one day I would guide others through it too.
Eka Pada Rajakapotasana or King Pigeon makes me feel strong because it asks for courage as much as strength. It’s a big heart opening shape that requires trust in your body and a willingness to go there which feels empowering to me✨”
