Its funny sometimes how a slow subtle change over the course of 5 years has created incredible  changes in ones life. When looking back on the effect it has had on my life, I am still in awe. I can still remember the day when my good friend had finally convinced me, after 4 months of bugging, to take my first hot yoga class.

Looking back now, I know that when I walked out of that room, exhausted and sweaty, I was changed. Right down to my core. Whats amazing is how after 5 years I am still learning, and still discovering more.

She told me, what to wear and what to bring. She explained what it was going to be like in the room, and not to talk. I walked into that room a young women looking for something to replace the amazing workout I used to get from hockey, and I walked out 5 years later a changed women.

I know a lot of people would read this and think that this is a load of shit. I understand why. I mean, how on earth could one experience change you that deeply. The tricky thing about yoga, the practice and the theory, is that it goes deeper then the skin and muscles. It enters the mind through the subtle teaching of the instructor (breathe work, patience, practice, cleansing, stillness etc) the life lessons you learn form what you learn in the room in astounding. You can always notice when you have a breakthrough or an advancement in the yoga that it transcribes to the something outside as well. Sometimes sublte changes in behavior are noticed and sometimes more grandios such as large life alterations like turning vegan.


Now of course life happens and many situations have played a factor in how I live my life today. However, yoga has been the driving force. The beam of light if you will, that has guided me and kept me strong. The subtle teachings have guided me exactly where I needed to be.

I am a simple kind of girl. I like chocolate, love my family and friends, and enjoy getting my sweat on at yoga.
