A picture speaks 1000 words
But a bit about me first …
As Anodea Judith illuminates, in Eastern Body Western Mind, to “lose our connection with the body is to become spiritually homeless.
When I was a newbie on my yoga mat, I noticed how different it felt to have my feet supported by the ground beneath them. In daily life, I had a habit of balancing precariously on the outer edges of my feet. As I became more aware of the mind-body connection, I noted that it was as if my feet were hesitant to commit fully to the ground.
Yoga encourages the coming together of mind and body, breath and movement, strength and grace. When we realign the disparate parts of ourselves, the parts that have gone off-line, through the practice of meaningful and purposeful movement (yoga), we heal ancient emotional wounds and blocks and reconnect with the things that truly matter to us.
I write about life experiences through a personal development lens. My essays have been featured in a variety of publications, including Diverse Voices Quarterly, Yoga International, Yoga Renew, Breathe Repeat, Coffee & Sweatpants, Elephant Journal, and BioStories.
