Protecting ourselves and our hearts from possible rejection and potential failure seems logical when we've been through drama in our lives. The Fierce person looks past that and says I will live boldly, authentically and passionately


About 12 months ago every plan I had fell apart. Everything was perfectly aligned, but then one by one things went in another direction. A big family scare shook us all up and it was during that moment that I realized just how strong I was. That's what yoga has given me, the tools to stare directly at the present situation and not lose my cool. To look bigger and feel so powerful that I can help the people around me feel loved, supported and grounded. . I know the person I was before yoga would have never had the perspective I have today on situations like that when we are confronted with them. . When I got home from the chaos, I did the one thing that I hadn't done in three weeks... yoga. I had to take time off to heal an injury and during that time though I was teaching I was itching deep inside to practice. Itching so bad because I had turned the practice into a drug and when that drug was not available, I started having withdrawals. All sorts of things started to surface. So much surfaced and when yoga wasn't there for me I had a moment of resentment. But yoga should not be my escape, I have to respect my relationship with it just like any other relationship. In the middle of that chaos I was reinspired and reminded that I love ❤️ Yoga . I feel so much. Too much. A blessing and a curse. I'm not one for boundaries, my heart is massive. I know that the boundaries between us are illusions. Having a soft heart is the fiercest thing I have done in my life. . It doesn't make me naive, gullible or impractical. This guides me on my journey. And my journey is part of your journey, and yours part of mine
