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 my daily life, I had a peculiar habit of balancing precariously on the outer edges of my feet. As I became more aware of my body alignment and how I was holding myself, It occurred to me that my feet were hesitant to commit fully to the ground.
Yoga encourages the coming together of mind and body through linking breath and movement. When we realign the disparate parts of ourselves, the parts that have gone off-line, so to speak, like the soles of my feet, we begin to heal ancient emotional blocks and reconnect with the things that truly matter to us.
I write about my life experiences and tell stories through a personal development and healing lens. My essays have been featured in a variety of publications, including Diverse Voices Quarterly, Open Salon, Yoga International, Yoga Renew, Breathe Repeat, Coffee & Sweatpants, Elephant Journal, and BioStories.
