"11 years ago I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. It was devastating"
. "When the symptoms start you have no idea what it is. Then you discover that it is incurable & you want to die, you see a bleak future. Cry daily. I thought “Wow I'm only 25 & I'm suffering this pain, what does my future hold?...Another 50 years living like this?"I did not think that I would be able to continue, or have a family. But You force yourself to continue, to fight, get out of bed. You discover that when you do exercise you feel better, despite being exhausted. The symptoms are pain in the body, anxiety, insomnia, restless legs, stress, respiratory & skin allergies. So they told me to stop high impact exercise & start with exercises like cycling, swimming or yoga
.
My yoga journey began watching videos, then, after 2 years I started regular yoga classes & got certified. I noticed changes: until one day there were almost no symptoms. It was not easy, I had to have discipline , daily yoga practice , nutrition care. But I learned to know myself, to say I should not & cannot do everything alone, & nothing has to be perfect. At 28 I got married, at 31 I had my daughter. It was not an easy pregnancy, again some symptoms returned, it was not easy breastfeeding, I had insomnia & I thought I would go crazy. But I had the help of my family & yoga
.
Today I live happily, giving yoga classes, without symptoms. My husband @alexgomezyoga was certified as a yoga teacher at the same time as me , in @sadhakyoga & now we have our own yoga studio Sadhak Yoga La Fe. We are dedicated to sharing yoga with the world because we know that it changes lives, happier & healthier lives .
Today I just finished a diploma in nutrition. I love how yoga has returned my smile & light to my life. To know that the real me, is inside , that only I can change how I respond and react to what life deals me. So, I hope all find their mission in life. All is temporal. Everything is an experience to learn, to discover who you are. You are strong. You are a miracle. Yoga helped me realise that it's a life worth living 🙏
