Yoga for Every BODY
We all want to feel loved, open, free and peaceful. We all desire to let go of
ideals and expectations of
“world” and be simply still. What if you had permission to be anything your heart wanted you to be? What if there was no right or wrong way of doing yoga poses, just simply YOUR way. The way that feels good for your body, mind and spirit. That is yoga to me.
There’s a smorgasbord of yoga labels all around us. Each having its own fancy term or cool yoga gear. It’s a bummer to see yoga magazines or videos with
same types of bodies representing yoga. This sends a message to
world that yoga is about looking a specific way. Instead of getting lost in
confusion, I chose to start really looking at my responsibility in this. Most of my clients share with me that they don’t feel comfortable going to a yoga studio. One, they don’t look like a yogi, two they might not do
poses “perfectly”, and finally, they don’t know where to even start. So many labels to choose from, so little time!
This is a very common experience with
people I teach or know. It is extremely challenging to go to a studio and relax when immediately you have to get your legs in lotus position. How uncomfortable is that? Yikes. Or you are so busy doing power yoga that you forgot to breathe or relax, feeling sore as you walk out
studio. Since I have experienced both being uncomfortable as a student and teacher I feel it is my duty to spread some of my truth around.
