"Before yoga I was on a path of following the rules & other people's expectations. Yoga taught me to follow my passion for life"

Meet @earthyogi
KAT yoga instructor & blogger, sharing her #yogasavedmylife story with us. These are her words 💚
.
"I first found yoga on a sunny beach in San Diego & thought 'this is cool'...but didn't think too much of it honestly.
I then found it again at a local studio after moving states & that's where it got real
.
.
I started to understand & learn what it was all about & realized it isn't about the postures or being flexible!
I was able to learn that yoga is about turning inward, focusing on the breath and letting it MOVE the body on it's own. It's about being aware of the present moment, knowing who is around you & why
.
.
It is noticing the small things in life & standing at all times in complete gratitude. I learned that judgement is a way people cope for themselves & its not really about those they are judging
.
.
I learned that I can be myself & find passion in my life again!
Yoga brought awareness to myself, to others, & to my body and breath
.
.
And that knowledge changed me 🙏
.
.
I realized the passions I were following weren't the real me & I began to discover who I really was through yoga
.
.
Now, I am following my real passion by being a mother & entrepreneur! I am no longer working 12 hour shifts like I was headed towards & I am so grateful I was able to change my destiny! .
.
THAT is why I teach, THAT is why I bring others with me, so they can experience the beauty that yoga really is.
Yoga has changed me! .
.
Yoga made me really contemplate & create what I want in life! It has given me the gift of loving who I am and being BRAVE enough to go for it!" .
