QUALITY CONTROL
How has yoga helped with your anxiety and depression ? Yoga saved me . Or maybe it gave me the tools to save myself . Yoga gave me the life changing benefits of conscious breathing , moving meditation , mantras , and how to truly relax into being . No matter how dark things get , I can always come back to yoga . I can take it with me , and I can come back any time I need to . I learned that life is bigger than me , and it exists outside of me as much as it does inside of me . I can find environments that support healing and health , and a sound body and mind . I believe we can all find light in the dark . Maybe you use yoga . Maybe you use therapy . Maybe you try acupuncture or any of the other things , including medication , that might help you . Trying to learn more about yourself , how you feel , and working through things to feel better is never bad . There are so many incredible ways that yoga can help us . We just have to make the time to practice .
How has yoga changed your life , mentally , physically and spiritually ? It ’ s been an important practice to me since I was a teen . It was a refuge . It was soothing and safe . Yoga has taught me many lessons , but it ’ s an ever-changing and ever-evolving relationship . It gives you a much more grounded approach to life , the ability to be present , and it helps you transcend your physical body .
What are your next steps and goals for the future ? I want to finish this book ! I ’ m also finishing grad school currently , and it will be great when that is finished . Goals are nothing fantastical , but there is a lot I want to cook up in the next three years . I ’ ll certainly keep y ’ all updated !
How would you describe yourself in three words ? Honest . Human . Healthy .
