Most people don’t come to yoga because they’re flexible. They come because they’re carrying something.
A month ago, one of my best friends passed away. I’m not ready to talk about it yet, and that’s okay. But it reminded me that every single one of us is carrying something.
Sometimes those emotions come up during class. And that’s alright too — in fact, it can be incredibly healing.
Over the years, I’ve watched some pretty incredible transformations happen in my students, and I’ve had plenty of my own along the way. I’ve also definitely gotten a little choked up while teaching.
One time, I literally had to put the entire room into Child’s Pose so I could pull myself together. Because apparently, “everyone breathe deeply while your yoga teacher has an emotional crisis” isn’t the most relaxing class experience😂
Show up as you are. Your body, your mind, your emotions — there’s space for all of it on the mat🧘🏼♂️🫶🏻
