"Yoga saved my life because it healed me. It reminded me of where I came from; it brought me closer to home within myself. It allowed me to break down the walls of anger and sadness I’d built so high. Years of depression & despair, years of questions with no answers, years of stress & unhappiness, years of emptiness & suddenly I was whole" .
Meet @metamorphassist sharing her #yogasavedmylife story with us. These are her words 💚
. "When I was a child I’d wake up in Butterfly pose sometimes. I’d do poses like wheel & shoulder stand in the house randomly. My parents never taught me yoga, & although at the time I didn’t realize what I was doing, I speculate it was my souls way of intuitively healing myself from everything going on around me
.
Fast forward to my early 20s; not doing yoga a teenager, after finishing my massage therapy diploma the word ‘yoga’ kept coming up in my head. So I went to my first Yin class.
Bam.
Tears flowed down my face the entire class; I couldn’t help it. I felt such a release all at once. I asked the teacher if this was normal, & she explained sometimes in opening the hips an emotional release happens. After 4 months I was doing the entire class with my eyes closed, hearing her voice guide me through my moving meditation
.
Then it became 3-5 times a week at a new studio. Bam again.
Tears, laughs, visions, releasing, cleansing, learning & best yet, understanding. I’ll never forget what one teacher told me: ‘You’ll change; it’ll be a slow process but it’ll happen. One day you will feel & know all the answers to what you are asking’ ; he was absolutely right
.
Yoga saved my life because it connected my body, mind and soul together as one. It helped me heal my past, be better at staying in the present & fortified a stronger future for myself
.
I am so grateful for yoga. I took my training earlier this year & fell even deeper in love with yoga & myself. One of the simple keys to life I’ve found is loving oneself, healing oneself. Yoga is an excellent platform to do both those things. I am excited to start teaching & share my love with everyone.
Thank you,
Namaste ♥️ Jessica"
