My yoga journey has had a weird start. After years of trying to incorporate yoga to my fitness regimen, I never felt 'home' in any studio, and the moves and mindset never felt natural to me.
I thought I couldn't be a yogi because I didnt 'fit' the stereotypical patterned pants and essential oils lifestyle that is pressed on us by mainstream media.
Despite not having a home studio, I practiced on my own out of fear of judgment. I NEVER thought I could be a yoga teacher.
I wear spikes and bleach my hair. I run, lift heavy, do cosplay...
I’m obsessed with Gaga and have a metal band’s logo tattooed on me...
I own a company that has a skull as an icon…
How is that a yogi?
Even though I believe in everything within the 8 limbs of yoga, not fitting that stereotype made me create a barrier to entry into a world I felt I didn’t belong in.
I always told myself that I never cared what anyone thought of me…so why is this any different?
I signed up for the 200 hour course in September, and I couldn't be happier to share:
I AM NOW A REGISTERED YOGA TEACHER!
Each of us are complex with gifts and experiences we should be sharing with the world! I love to coach, to help people achieve their dreams, and I have experienced the transformation of mindset changes in myself and others.
So fuck the stereotypes!
Be your own person!
Be your own yogi!
Let's all be who we are designed to be: unique, gifted, beautiful individuals who are here to help guide, nurture, and expand one another.
I am so excited to share this newfound gift and knowledge with my clients, and the world, and look forward to where this path is taking me!
NAMASTE, ALL DAMN DAY!
