Yoga Was Calling Me
Spring of 2019 Yoga was calling me
I got on the mat
Started a half a$$ practice, if you can even call it that
After rolling up the mat and putting it away
The mat came back out in Oct, like reconnecting with an old friend
I signed up for yoga teacher training, if it was going to be part of my life, I wanted to know ALL about it
Class did not start until Feb 2020.
The journey from the day I committed was bumpy to say the least
I realized a lot about myself on the mat
I was able to find peace within the battle of my mind
I was able to remove judgment from finding love in myself
I was able to forgive from a new perspective to life
I was able to surrender, trust, let go and be free
The control and attachment hadn’t worked so well for me
Spending time on the mat was more than downward dog and stretching beyond my toes
It challenged me and exposed my darkness
It brightened my life and lit up my world
Gave me a new hunger
Awakened my soul
Redefined my purpose
Gave me a reason to wake up in the morning
Now on the other side of darkness is a sober energetic woman full of life and vitality
Ready to conquer the world with a passion and clarity to live
So here I am certified and ready to share with the world what freedom feels like
Freedom from pain
Freedom from hurt
Freedom of fear
Knowing we are all humans with experiences, these negative thoughts and emotions will never fully leave
Yet there is peace in knowing how to control my thoughts and not let my thoughts control me
It’s not in the next bottle or in the next drink
It comes from within, the untapped energy within waiting to be awakened
The energy that creates waves in the ocean and ripples in the lake
It’s all waiting within us, I wish I would have listened sooner.
Thank you for being on my journey this far, this is just the beginning!
