I want to talk about my journey and what led me to
yoga and clean eating. We all have a story and regardless of where we
are on this path the beggining, the middle, or perhaps we have mastered
it. We will all end up where we want to be.
My journey started my freshman year of high school. I was
overweight, I felt out of place and I needed an outlet. At the time
sports weren't really my thing, so I looked to yoga. I found an article
about it in a fitness magazine and I took that as inspiration. The
natural flexibility,strength and balance awed me and I wanted to be able
to bend my body like they did, I wanted to look like them. Little did I
know there was much more to it than that.
I started at the library. A book on healthy eating and a
book of all the asanas. Flipping through the pages I vowed to myself I
would execute every one of them one day. I started in to the asanas but I
did not make it a practice instead I focused on stretching my body to
limits I should not of crossed, entered into poses I wasn't ready for
and hurt myself a few times. I loved the way the beginner poses made me
feel but I was missing something and eventually I returned the books and
I stopped.
A few years later during my junior year I started soccer
and during summer practice I started back in to yoga with actual
classes. I fell in love with vinyasa. The movement and breath and
overall feeling of stillness and calm really spoke to me. Clean eating
followed by natural progression.
As my mind and body become clearer I found my inner voice, I could hear the universe speaking to me and through me. I knew at that point it was my lifes mission to help people and to heal them. We all need a little motivation each day to keep on the path that is meant for us and I hope my writings can reach out to you and inspire you to continue, or start, your own personal journey to health.
As a full time mommy, wife, yogi, writer, wellness advocate, and small buisness owner of an organic skin care company I love what I do.I am still on this journey, still learning bending and
trying. I don't ever see my life without yoga and meditation I hope my
story can inspire you to never give up, to keep on moving until you find
your niche.
Namaste my friends
