2016 reminiscence trend โจ Iโd just graduated college with a degree in Conflict Analysis and Resolution.
I was teaching yoga for survivors of s*x traffickingโฆ following my dharma and at the same time toooootally unsure of what to do next.
I began traveling that year, visiting in Hawaii ๐บ for the first time, seeing fresh lava ๐ฅ and learning a lot in the heart realm.
I ended the year visiting India for the first time!! I remember applying for the Indian visa and I received it, with my passport, in the mail just HOURS before my flight to India departed!! ๐ฌ๐
I got my yoga teacher training in Kerala and traveled around the south a bit with my then-boyfriend. (We broke up shortly after, during the YTT! ๐ฌ)
It was a big year for me in finding my own truth at my center. Free from my school-based lifestyle I explored what life COULD look like! Of course coming to India for the first time was deeply impactful, and 10 years later I am still going back every year to deepen my studies and relationships, learn more, offer retreats, and visit temples.
JAI MA
Grateful Iโve gotten to live these 10 great years since then!
I wonder how different my life will be in another 10โฆ.
