I first found yoga in 2005 when a close friend of mine was going through an experience of deep loss and she asked if I could start a practice with her every morning to feel better. I was unfamiliar with anything involved in the practice of yoga, except for pictures I had seen of crazy looking stretches, and I had thought it was some strange religion. Being a former athlete and fitness instructor, I didn’t consider yoga to be a “real” exercise worthy of my time.
After the first morning that we popped the video in (yes it was a video! lol), I was absolutely amazed that during one of the stretches I had tears streaming down my cheeks. At the end of the practice I felt a peace that, in my entire life, had been completely foreign to me. I realized in that moment, deep in my soul, WHAT peace felt like. I felt it in my muscles, my bones, my mind, and my emotions. It changed me and led me to understand myself.
You see, I was born neuro atypical, meaning that I have a different brain and nervous system than most. I wake up feeling nervous and afraid nearly every day of my life. Going through the simplest of tasks like grocery shopping and just picking up the phone, that are easy for most, can be terrifying for me. I often jump at the littlest sound or movement. My nerves have always felt on fire 24/7, and I feel like one wrong move, and I might die. My entire life has been spent trying to mask and fix this stress disorder of which I had no understanding, to fight extra hard to still be a successful human, and to make sure that no one could see my differences, in fear that I might be humiliated.
It turns out that in 2005, the reason I had such a deep experience of relief after that yoga video was due to the direct impact that yoga can have on the nervous system. The way that we breathe, redirect our attention, and release stress and physical tension is so powerful that it can change our emotional state, leading to dramatic changes in the body and mind. Yoga cannot change the way that I was born, but it can provide me incredible relief to manage my life as I have found in nothing else.
Although a Harford County native, I became certified to teach yoga at Silver Lotus in Rehoboth Beach, DE in 2007. This led me to bring what I was so passionate about to the place that I loved the most, Ocean City, MD. I am so grateful to be able to share this incredible experience of combining yoga and the beauty of the beach each summer w/ about 1,000 vacationers and locals each year. From September to May you will find me leading and broadcasting yoga classes and private therapy specializing in anxiety disorders, PTSD, trauma relief, and stress reduction in various beautiful corners of our planet.
As a neuroatypical adult, life has not become easier, but clearer, more meaningful and worth the daily struggle. Yoga has put me in touch w/ the simple, but profound miracle and opportunity of being a human being, suffering or not. It has taught me to accept my struggle instead of trying to change it and assist so many others in providing their own relief. Instead of being afraid that others will think that I’m different, I’m proud to say that I AM. I now live WITH and OWN my human condition and, although it is never easy, I have learned to LOVE myself exactly as I am. I cannot explain the gift that this is, but I will continue to share it with others until the day that I am no longer alive. Peace at last.
