I tried yoga for the first time 9 years ago. I went to the class feeling intimidated, inflexible and ego driven. I was looking around the class to see how much better or worse my ‘ability’ was to other students. I was by far the ‘worst’. I’ve learned since that yoga is about connecting to yourself on the mat and not being able to touch your toes. We all have different bodies, upbringings, circumstances and challenges. I’ve learnt that you can’t compare yourself to others on or off the mat. 9 year on I’m a qualified yoga teacher, still practicing, still learning. So I encourage you to try something new, different, ‘strange’. It could be the best thing you’ve ever done. ☺️ pic @the.sattva.life ✨ #happiness #gratitude #meditation #aromatherapy #skincare #naturalfragrance #yoga #soyacandles #mindfulness #mindset #science #selfcare #selflove #breath #rituals #mood #natural #wellbeing #essentialoils #naturalskincare
