Meet Hannah Carolyn Jenkins @hannahsrituals very kindly sharing her #yogasavedmylife story with us. These are her words ❤
.

"I was holding so tightly onto anger & certain limiting beliefs & my mat was where I began to break through them"
.
.
Yoga was the entry into all of my healing. It gave me patience and trust in the process of healing through therapy and meditation and coaching
.
.
One of the greatest lessons I’ve learned from my practice is that there is simply no rushing the body. I found surrender. There is no substitute for consistent practice over time: this applies to asana, to letting go, to forgiving and loving myself, to choosing to connect
.
.
Mindfulness, this moving meditation... I started to get clear on when I’m having a reaction: when my mind kicks in with stories & I reflexively berate myself or put up walls; when I’m triggered by another person instead of going off on them I can calm and take a breath and choose a conscious response instead of being in a reactive state
.
.
The power of intention
The power of commitment and practice The beauty of breath and the space it creates
.
.
My mat was the first place I felt empowered, the first place I felt myself release myself from those negative stories & bitterness
.
.
What I’ve seen in myself on the mat has given me confidence to go after what I want in life with hunger and passion, trusting in the universe and the path I’m on
.
.
Yoga connected me to my body, and my body taught me how to feel and intuit instead of overthinking over analyzing and ending up paralyzed by anxiety anyways
.
.
Connecting to my body also led me to treating it better
.
.
Yoga saved my life ❤🙏"
