Yoga Teacher I Holistic Life Coach & Body- Mind Practitioner
I’m here to share a bit about my journey and how yoga unexpectedly wove itself into my life. Amidst a whirlwind of major life changes and a non-stop busy rhythm, I found myself feeling lost. My workouts were high-intensity and demanding. My body, once my ally, struggled to keep up with the constant pressure from all directions. It felt like I was on a path focused solely on survival, moving further away from my true self. My first experience with yoga was through Acroyoga, a fun mix of playfulness, positive energy, connection, and community. As much as I enjoyed it, I sensed I needed something deeper.
Somehow, I found my way to Joogaruum for a Yin class. That was a turning point, from then on, there was no looking back. It felt like healing, something I had been longing for, soothing my body, mind, and soul. It was a gentle invitation to slow down, to breathe, and simply to be. At first, this slower pace felt unfamiliar, a sharp contrast from the high-energy routines that once defined me. But as I learned to slow down and look inward.
I found a sanctuary within myself. Yoga became my compass, guiding me through life’s storms. The yoga community, like a newfound family, offered the warmth and support I had been missing. Each time I unrolled my mat, I embarked on an adventure, uncovering layers within. This journey of self-discovery continues to deepen, with yoga uplifting every part of me while inviting me to nurture, grow, and challenge myself. Yoga gradually transformed from a practice into a lifestyle.
Yin yoga has helped me peel back layers and release old blockages, while Vinyasa keeps my body strong and resilient, maintaining my focus and allowing space for play. It’s all about being present in my body, observing, creating space, and letting go. My favourite pose is bakasana (crow pose). It stands as a crossroad, inviting opportunities for growth to sprout in the most unexpected and surprising directions. Finding balance and strength from within, while staying rooted through the hands planted to the earth. Bakasana serves as a reminder that growth often comes from embracing challenges with a centered and open mindset. For me, bakasana embodies a philosophy of embracing the unknown, facing challenges head-on, and allowing the unexpected to unfold.
Yoga, for me, is not just a practice; it’s a way of living authentically and connecting deeply with others and, most importantly, with myself. It’s the best medicine for both a flexible body and a flexible mind. Meet you on the mat!
