Meet Ana Maria Conneely sharing her #yogasavedmylife story with us. These are her words ❤
.

"I knew I wanted to be better and to find a path worth loving. To not feel frustrated and to not feel as though my time was less important than anyone else’s
.
.
A close friend had lent me the book ‘Eat, Pray, Love’ by @elizabeth_gilbert_writer: a book I would have turned my nose up to at any other stage in my life but at the time it carried a message for me that lead me to wake up one morning with a strong sense that I needed to truly immerse myself in the practice of yoga and meditation. I was not someone who enjoyed going to group classes so it was a big push to make myself find a class and commit to attending. Since that first class, I have committed to the practice fully and wholeheartedly through the trying times and the joyful times
.
.
Everything changed for me from there, slowly...but that decision was pivotal
.
.
7 years later I am still working on being a better me, yoga may not be the answer for everyone but for me, it is the key. For the first time in my life, I felt as though I had found something that fitted me rather than me trying to fit into it
.
.
2 teacher training's and various diploma’s in nutrition and massage therapy later and the journey continues, I find new depths and layers to this experience of living every day that without my yoga practice would not have been possible
.
.
Yoga grants me the ability to connect and share with people on the most authentic level I have ever experienced. And for that, I am beyond grateful
