I often use the hashtag #yogasavedmylife ....because back in early 2017 when I was trying to come to grips with the reality of anxiety and trying not to let the fear inside me consume me alive.... my first step to recovery was practicing yoga with consistency and commitment everyday. . . . 💙It was yoga that got me up in the morning and give me strength to face the day. 💙 It was yoga that gave me courage to do the "simple things" that scared me....💙it was yoga that brought calm & courage to my life when I felt like i was falling apart💙 . . . . Yes , there are so many other amazing elements that have helped me....like my TRE & EFT coach, my Kinesiologist, my friends and family....THE OCEAN💙, NATURE🌍 BEUATIFUL NATURE🌊! All these factors play an equal and pivotal role in my journey ....but it started with yoga because that was all I had with me in the times I felt most scared and alone. You see yoga is not just a physical practice there is so much more to it (that's why I hate this "weight loss" yoga fad...but that's for another day). . . . Every morning I would get onto my mat & start to gently move. It would calm my mind & ease my soul. It would ground me & bring strength to my spirit. . . . So yes, yoga has saved my life & gave me the courage & UNDERSTANDING to discover other forms of "therapy" that helps dissolve anxiety (i.e. NATURE, kinesiology, EFT, TRE, talking to loved ones) . . . Give it go! It's a beautiful tool to help one navigate thrpugh this stressful & crazy world 💙🤗🕉 . . . #yogaforanxiety #yogaforlife #yogasavedmylife #beachyoga #yogaforhealth #yogafordepression #yogainnature #yogini #yogaflex #yogasofig #yogagoals #selflove #selfhealing #mybodyisbeautiful #yogaforcourage (at Glentana, Western Cape, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtlyGDnBUMT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hhif6k0bbg2v
