As long as I can remember I was always looking for more. Not more as in “things” but in experience. At age 14 I began a meditation practice, which eventually lead me on a journey/sampling of other philosophies and practices until I discovered my “path”, Yoga. Linking my meditation, my breath, with movement was like a beautiful sacred dance where I found equanimity, clarity and balance. I found freedom on my mat and soon discovered that every time I rolled it out, there was a different lesson or experience to be had. A place where I could be as playful as a child, pure inspiration and exploration or it was a safe haven when I felt lost in a storm, allowing myself to feel and deal with challenges and fears.
After almost 30 years of practice and 6 years of teaching, not a lot has changed. It’s still an adventure every time I step onto my mat, as I leave tears, sweat and a part of my soul there, what has changed is my approach to my practice. I have found that I can be challenged and open without pushing myself to far and risking injury. That Yoga is not my foot behind my head, but where my heart and soul are while I am practicing, both on and off my mat. Having to deal daily with a back and shoulder injury from childhood gymnastics, I found the need to really listen to my body, to honor what it is saying and where it needs to go. I still love to flow and move but it has just become a kinder, gentler “slow flow”. I practice and teach with consciousness of self and my students, with attention on alignment and form, while keeping it fun as we discover what our practice is that day.
Some come play, sweat, laugh, cry, dance and experience anytime!
Namaste
