Months went by where I was practicing at home but knew that practicing at home was no longer enough. I was lucky enough to know the owners of Sublime Yoga in Downtown Dunedin, and went in one day to talk to them about growing more in my practice. They told me about the Mysore Ashtanga program that they were starting up soon and that it would work with my work schedule. I was thrilled!
The first class I went too, Heather (the yoga teacher and owner of the program) welcomed me with such open arms and unlimited knowledge about the practice. She has an energy about her that makes your insecurities of any kind flush away. I trust her with my practice and helping me deepening my stretches. I have not been as often as I had been going being of my work schedule but nonetheless, I try to practice at least 5 times a week, even if it as at home.
Before my yoga adventure I have been on, I was filled with lots of emotional baggage, anxiety and attitude. Eight months later, I feel free. I feel at peace and I feel joyful. I am no where near where I want to be, but very proud of how far I have come. I look forward to my practice growing not just physically, but as well emotionally and mentally.

Yes, that is my sweet kitty April. She loves to join in too!
Yoga has encouraged me to switch from paleo to vegan. I still avoid gluten as much as possible and avoid refined sugars. I also have learned to be more loving, gentle and positive. I am thankful, beyond words or reasoning, that yoga has touched my soul in such a beautiful way. May this journey continue on for many many more years to come.
Let your inner light shine in all that you do!
Namaste.
