The practice of yoga begins on the mat but extends far beyond it. It’s a way of life – natural, free flowing, authentic. The gratitude, humility and deep understanding of the self that we’ve experienced while being on the mat has naturally seeped into our everyday life. That’s the beauty of this practice.
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the importance yoga has played in my physical and spiritual well-being. Besides my relationships with my family, yoga has been one of my longest and most empowering relationships in my life. It has seen me through the ups and the downs of high school, the stress of college, the intensity of my eating disorder and my recovery and rediscovery of a more balanced lifestyle.
