If I were to write a love letter to my yoga teacher. . . I would start by telling her how much she helps to make me a better and healthier person. . .
She has guided me on how to set up a daily practice to overcome the aches and pains caused by office/cubicle life, her early teachings helped me to focus on my breath and feeling in my body so that I could sense the effect and release of tension caused by the different poses.
She also emphasized that Yoga is more than poses or exercise . . . Yoga is a way of connecting to your spirtual side regardless of your religion or faith . . . Yoga is allowing your breath to calm you and stop the fight or flight instinct that fills our body with stress. . . Yoga is bringing your life into balance by spending time in nature and getting away from life in front of the screen.
Why do I love working with her?
Her willingness to share her personal stories of perseverance, overcoming struggles with health problems, relationships, and finding balance in her life through the use of essential oils, yoga, and energy work. She lights up and you feel a sense of candidness, sincerty, and genuineness.
What makes my teacher unique?
She has guided me and helped me to see how experiences from the past/early childhood are affecting me today so that I can change my behavior and see that the old stories I used to believe about myself or the world may not be true and could be sabotaging my growth. These deep insights are priceless and trigger my personal growth. Breaking the connection to the past is often key to moving forward.
