My Yoga Story

When life turns upside down…

breathe, let it go, and let it

flow.

From a very young age I was always drawn to yoga, even when I was a child I was doing yoga poses without fully knowing what they were. In high school I started to practice yoga and pilates at home from a DVD, (millennial here lol), and when I went off to university I furthered my practice at a studio. During my younger years, before I went through my spiritual awakening, I was so disconnected from myself and only looked at what the benefits of yoga were for my body. 

In my mid-twenties, I was in a very toxic and abusive relationship that really shook me to my core and led to anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Even though that life experience was very painful, it was also incredibly transformative. I know it was part of my path to learn, grow and heal myself, as well as my lineage. When I finally removed myself from the relationship, I began the process of refinding myself and took a deep dive into healing. I reconnected to my spirituality and the divine with yoga being a huge part of my healing journey.

This ancient practice helped me release emotions and reconnect to my mind, body, and soul. I learned that yoga is so much more than what it does for the body. It truly is a deep meditative practice to cultivate presence and find connection with your true self - your soul. I knew then that I was meant to teach yoga and share this beautiful practice with others. Being on the mat is a safe space for me where I can truly connect, let go, and be one with my vulnerability. 

It took me a few more years of healing and discovery to take the leap and get my yoga teacher training, but I believe everything happens as and when it should, even if it’s a bit slower than what we think our timeline should look like. I completed my 200-hour yoga teacher certification in Vancouver, BC in May, 2024. It was such a divinely guided experience and I know I was meant to do it when I did. The teachers and trainees were the most beautiful souls and it was such a transformative and magical experience for us all. Just another sign from the universe to trust yourself and the divine timing of your life - things always come together as and when they are supposed to!
