My Yoga Journey

Currently, I'm only teaching yoga on an occasion, by occasion bases, more like small yoga parties. This summer, I was teaching at multiple locations around the Chicagoland area and it was draining me. It was more tiring than working full-time and doing yoga teaching training, which was like a 60+ hour a week commitment for the two.

I listened to my body as I felt like I was expending more energy than I was receiving. I also began to realize that I may have been trying to do too much too soon. And upon more soul searching, I discovered the original reason I went to yoga teacher training wasn't the same.

Originally, I wanted to be certified so I can teach. Although I love teaching, I started feeling like I needed this knowledge to work with my own healing for now. You know raise my energy level with it, instead of depleting it.

I was working at a few places that used yoga a secondary stream of income and didn't put the same type of commitment in the yoga classes as the main business. That got me thinking a lot as well, I see yoga as first, so why would I spend my energy and efforts with facilities that don't have the same interest.

I'm a lot happier with that decision I made to continue my healing with yoga. This path has really help me look at things in a different perspective, from how I feel as opposed to what I think I should do or how other people feel about my decisions. Liv your truth!
