It wasn't always this easy to open my arms to my self or my own life. I always have had a "sunny disposition" but underneath that 😁 was a lot of chaos 😵. This journey of yoga and ayurveda has been unexpected, touch and go, mysterious, forced, opening, doubtful, committed, scary af, connecting, heart opening, mind blowing, and all through it I always felt it was SACRED. Even though life felt very up and down for about a decade, I always felt like I was slowly coming back to a sense of myself, a sacred part of my life that felt kinder, more compassionate, loving, accepting (this is a huge one for the perfectionist in me), and grateful for all of it--the good aaaand the messy. That is why Sacred Return Yoga was my very first website back in 2008 (which I eventually ditched). Lesson: vata imbalance can be really unhelpful for sustainability and longevity🥴. Life is cyclical though😊 and the minute I realized I was putting this Yoga & Ayurveda training together, I knew it would be called Sacred Return. 💫 At a time when a lot of the yoga tradition has been watered down or so niched down, I will forever hold and teach these practices (yes, there is sooooo much more beyond the postures) as a SACRED RETURN. 💫 Maybe I'm getting older. Maybe it's my kids. But maybe it's just part of my meeting of karma and dharma in this lifetime but I am feeling very called to encourage humanity to embrace the SACREDNESS of life a little more. Slow down. Watch how amazing this all is. Slow down. Watch how amazing YOU ARE! 💫 If you're a #yogi in Okinawa who resonates with this post, check out Sacred Return Yoga & Ayurveda Teacher Training (link in bio⤴️). It begins in September 2019.
