After I graduated high school my mom handed me a yoga mat and a 28 day yoga book. Whenever I got to the mediation part of the practice I would skip it or start right back from the beginning. My focus was purely physical so when I craved and sought out that connection to something greater I traded in my mat for a church plant aka a cult. Which lasted about five years.
It took years to heal and drop that biblical programming and conditioning that was imprinted. But it’s only a small part of the conditioning we all carry. The stuff that keeps us small and buried by shame.
Reality is - There is no one standing above me judging me for this or that. Writing a long list of shit I did just to punish me later. When this programming/conditioning fell away I was left with ME. So when @deepakchopra says YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE I believe him. That’s what I connected to anyway in YTT - my essence - and began to heal.
What was most profound and refreshing about yoga teacher training @yogasix was when @katiebrauertransform said “Don’t take my word for it. Try it for yourself. If the sweater fits and feels good, keep it. If not, throw it out.” This statement was like a revolution for my heart and soul.
I have come to know Yoga as a self discovery practice that meets you exactly where you are at. If you don’t get a chance to catch me IRL meet me in virtual. I have a channel filled with yoga flows just for you. Discover yourself as you peel the layers off 💛
