Becoming a yogi baby

I wish I knew I had sweet and soft emotional releases at the tip of my fingers earlier in my life. Indulging in this beautiful practice could’ve saved me from all the jail time. Just kidding, but not knowing how incredibly good yoga works for my body feels like I’ve wasted so much time on exercises that never really resonated with me. I've fallen in love with the calm but energetic endorphins that infiltrates my mind after I’ve given my body so much well deserved love. With a balanced posture and a sound mind, one can easily get addicted to grounded euphoria, one of the most soothing feelings I’ve ever experienced during exercise.

Obstacles are the cost of greatness, especially when it comes to pushing limits and seeing what your body allows you to do. I’ve always believed in this huge misconception that one needs to be extremely flexible for yoga to be enjoyable and even doable, but I’ve learned that it’s the furthest thing from the truth. Yoga is for every girl that wants to enter into a world of blissful tranquility. It builds the beautiful pathway to a deep and meaningful understanding between you and the forever evolving movements of your body. It improves your posture and it’s incredibly beneficial for your overall health and state of mind. Escaping into this soothing practice also tones the muscles and opens the lungs, something I can’t seem to get enough of.

“Make the pose work for your body, don’t make your body work for the pose” is what Lezy Pretorius, yoga instructor and guru lives by. I absolutely loved this saying, because it really motivates people to look beyond the limitations, they think they might have during the practice. Lezy helped me to enter the yogi world with the tools and knowledge I needed to strengthen my body’s posture to its fullest. I’ve been exceedingly happy to have found my Zen and drown in all the tranquility yoga has to offer.
