When I began my recovery journey in 2015, little did I know it would also lead me to a personal yoga & meditation practice. I had no idea how profound the impact of joining body and breath would be in my life.
I spent much of my late teens and early adulthood struggling with anxiety, depression, low self esteem, addiction, insecurity and fear. I was never athletic, extremely uncomfortable in my body & held some very limiting beliefs about what my body was capable of. One of the main reasons it took me so long to set foot on a mat was the belief that I had to be ‘bendy’ to even walk through the door of a studio.
After my first class, I felt an internal shift and was immediately hooked. I needed to learn more. What was I experiencing on my mat that made me feel more at home in my skin & a sense of ease I’d never experienced? I began my first teacher training and deepened my personal practice. I started offering classes and have had the privilege of sharing practice with people for 6 years.
Yoga has been a practice that has brought me self-awareness, allowed me to practice gratitude for my health and my body. It has helped me to realize we are so much more than our bodies and we can use a yoga practice to find peace, grounding and support to rise to life’s challenges. I look forward to meeting you
