What if we lived on a world where every one of us had access to take care of our emotions and mental well-being?
I believe so strongly in the healing power of this practice, so I find ways to include it in my lifestyle with a full-time day job.
While yoga is not a replacement for professional medical care, it can be a powerful addition to your spiritual practice and can help cultivate overall health.
My Story
My first experience with yoga was in my kindergarten classroom. My school had a certified instructor lead a fun, kid-friendly exercise that made me believe I can do yoga anytime, anywhere.
Later during my teenage years, yoga became an integral part of my life. At times, it was difficult to access mental health resources and yoga became part of a solid self-care routine.
