A New Year. Hang with me here, it’s a long one..
Goals..Resolutions..Revolutions..
ReSOULutions…Wellness Industrial Complex..Coaches..Spiritual Guides..Triggered..Trauma..Mental Health..Heal..Not yoga enough..Too much..Anatomy rules..All bodies are different…
Sheesh. Anybody else feeling consumed by all the shaming, marketing, competition, advice and general anything but well being supported on social media?
I don’t know about you but it was enough for me to want to hang up my mat and sit..which turned out to be a pretty good thing at least temporarily. Forced by severe congestion to take a break turned out to be just what my body, mind and soul needed.
This is my journey. Yoga has been the longest lasting, most transformative, challenging, empowering, connecting, comforting, loving, uplifting, enlightening experience in my life. Not just the physical practice but the sitting (meditating), self study (mindfulness) and the asana. For me they are intrinsically interconnected. My hope is that what I say or do here resonates with you. If it does then you are welcome. All are welcome to my tribe.
Full disclosure I am not a certified mental health professional. I am a certified 200 RYT (registered yoga teacher) working through my 300 RYT certification. I am like all other living humans a survivor of a traumatic global pandemic that has unearthed profound change in the world and in us. I also come to the table with decades of work and life experience.
Anything you wish to share about your thoughts, experiences, practice or ask a question are also welcome here. My wish for the New Year is that we may all be a more lovingly support for each each other. What do you wish for?
I would love to hear from you.
Always love, Susan
