Every Yogi's Worst Nightmare..

Uncategorized Feb 14, 2019

For a Yogi, the most blissful and exciting time in your life is going to Teacher Training.

But that isn’t how it was for me.

I have never told this story, not like this.

I was feeling so incredibly misaligned in my health care job that is started to affect my cognitive function and my vision.

I knew I had to finally actualize my dreams. ( I was too scared that I was too fat to be a yoga teacher – truth)

When I made this leap and finally started, I was so full of hope, promise and living a magically aligned life.

That didn’t happen.

I was rear ended in my car three weeks before training started.

After consulting the lead teacher I decided to go ahead and do it anyway, she pressed that this wasn’t about skill. It was about teaching others with your words. And that this was the perfect opportunity to use this as rehab.

My employer at the time took great issue with this.

So while I was healing, doing physio and rehab, I was also fighting for my life, having another yogi at the training be a spy for my boss, fighting through a full on investigation into my healthcare job for my PERSONAL decision to rehabilitate myself while using yoga.

I was ALWAYS looking over my shoulder. I was at Starbucks wondering if there was anyone taking pictures, spying and reporting back to my employer.

To be honest, if this hadn’t happened, I don’t know that I would be the woman I am today. I don’t know that I would have fully stepped away from healthcare.

The fact that I am now making a living wage with Yoga blows my mind. The fact that I came out of that. That it is my grounding and guiding force.

So two messages I would like you to take away from this…

1. You are always good enough to have your dreams now.
2. It’s okay if the experience you're in right now isn’t quite like you had pictured, it gets MUCH better.
