"It's National Yoga Day!" said my friend Adrian, trying to make attending a downtown hot yoga class seem appealing. I had only gone to a few yoga classes at various gyms and so say it wasn't my jam, would be putting it nicely.

"IDK, I feel like yoga is just sitting in awkward positions, being told by some lady to deepen into it and make it more awkward." 

"You'll love this class!" Adrian assured.

​

I.Loved.It

​

After an amazing class that had somehow to my embarrassment nearly brought me to tears. I knew I wanted yoga to be accessible to me every day. Within a couple weeks I had done some research, called my yoga instructing Aunt Chelsea, and signed up to become certified myself.

​

I loved how working the body calmed the mind. I loved how the practice got my blood and oxygen pumping! I loved being able to have a hollowed out space to refocus my spastic brain. 

​

Yoga is awesome for your body. The strength, the balance and the connection enhanced by yoga are excellent for people: young and old. The effects yoga practices and principles can have on harnessing anxiety, depression, trauma, scattered thoughts, and unhealthy thoughts can be extraordinary.

​

I hope to be able to share these treasured attributes with you! Breath deep, Babe. I'll see you on your mat.

​

Namaste.
