Expand Your Consciousness
My yoga journey began at age 19 out of desperation for the pain I was in. I had been to several chiropractors all of them told me my scoliosis and all the discomfort that came with it was something I would just have to get used to living with. (This was before I met Bobby)
So I prayed for an answer a solution.
I had never heard of yoga when it landed in my Spirit.
I went to Target and bought a DVD set because that's what you did back then, and I started watching and practicing the videos in my apartment at night.
Being a dancer my whole life I was already flexible so much of it was easy for me but I became instantly intrigued by how open the poses made me feel and the relief it gave to my spine.
Over time I recognized my practice was more than just a physical support but was slowing down my monkey mind- and helping me become more present, connected, and self-aware.
There have been seasons I didn't practice regularly and goodness I felt the difference.
The mat is a beautiful metaphor for our life, gifting us the opportunity to practice how we show up in our day-to-day.
Life is constantly inviting us to meet our edges and gently move beyond them, so we can open, expand our consciousness and capacity to give and receive more.
My practice has taught me to embody the dance between the effort and ease. Intention and surrender.
It challenges my body to stay strong and limber while keeping my mind still, and my heart soft and open. 🤍
