Every once in awhile as a yoga teacher, especially working for yourself or a small studio, no students show for class (if you know, you know). This happened today and it was interesting to notice all the thoughts that went through my head: a mix of self-blame, imposter syndrome, ego boosting, and my favorite, no joke, “maybe it’s bc I didn’t shave my legs” 😅 After a few minutes, I noticed what was happening, laughed at myself, and rolled out a mat and took my own damn class. 🌈🌈🌈
That moment of noticing my thoughts was the real yoga that happened today. I had a choice to stay with those thoughts that mostly weren’t true and were definitely harmful or use the time to take care of myself, shift my mood, and remember that my inherent goodness is not dictated by factors outside of my control.
Divine being. In my upcoming Yoga Therapy for Infertility series, I invite you to listen to the innate inner wisdom of your body. To offer yourself rest and emotional release in order to reclaim your body as your own, whole, regardless of the challenges that you may be experiencing. 🌙☀️
I offer these classes as a chance to come into a safe, supportive space working with the tools of yoga to lower the stress response, improve resilience, and increase well-being for those dealing with infertility and related conditions. You are already enough and you deserve nurturing support during this time. ☀️🌙
The 5-week series starts Dec 7, 1:30-3pm. Sign up directly through the @be_well_austin website.
