Long before the world told you who to be:
what you should wear
how much you should weigh
what you should do with your life
you knew, without question,
that you were enough;
That you were here for a reason
and that reason felt holy.
But, somehow, life happened:
you followed your prescribed path, possibly had kids, and often find yourself on the hamster wheel of your to-do list, racing to keep up.
But deep down you know that there is so much more to who you really are.

20 years ago, amidst the debilitating patterns of addiction and depression, I, too, was struggling to find a spiritual home in this world.
No matter where I went or who I was with
I never felt like I was enough.
I spent years on the hamster wheel of unworthiness,
chasing my worth in a variety of unhealthy ways,
and shape shifting myself in order to fit into boxes that didn't feel right for me.

That's when, by the Grace of God, I stumbled into a yoga therapy class.
Here, the teacher called me things like Whole Divine Worthy Sacred Supported Enough |
|
While I had grown up hearing about God intellectually,
yoga was the first place where I felt a Living, Loving, Divine Presence
in my body, my breath, and at the center of my sacred heart.
With continued practice, to my complete surprise,
my addictive behaviors eased,
my depression began to clear, and
my emotions loosened their grip on me.
I learned to embody qualities like confidence, courage, and clarity and to connect with the Divine in a personal way.
|
From then on, I was hooked; I dedicated my life to learning more about the spiritual path of yoga and promised to share these Divine truths that saved my life with others who needed to hear them. I have been passionately studying yoga for the last twenty years and teaching for the last twelve. I am fascinated by the emerging research supporting yoga's ability to promote healing from the inside out. |
I know now that all of my struggles were divinely preparing me to one day help others who struggle to find a sacred home within themselves.
This work is a ministry through which I get to help women get off the hamster wheel of unworthiness,
discover their spiritual nature,
befriend their bodies,
understand their emotions,
cultivate curiosity and compassion,
and speak up for themselves.
