My journey continues...

The biggest thing I have learned so far from my teacher training would be PATIENCE. I have never been super flexible or even had the ability to touch my toes. I recently just mastered Vrksasana (tree pose) and it is honestly the best feeling ever!! I never thought I would be able to do that EVER. I gain my confidence through repetition of poses and flows. For me, it is not something that just comes to me automatically. I have to practice consistently daily and weekly to accomplish my yoga goals.




From the few people I have taught already, I have gained amazing insight. Some people prefer to have a deeper, spiritual experience while others prefer something so gentle but healing at the same time. I love learning about different people's perspectives and expectations on their yoga experience because most people are very different in what they want out of a yoga class. I grow as a teacher by learning what people like and want out of their yoga experience. 

It is the greatest blessing to me that I have found true happiness helping people heal through yoga. 

Namaste :)

Another fave!

I have so many favorite things about yoga that I have learned thus far. My most favorite by far would have to be curing my insomnia. Normally, I cannot stay asleep throughout the night and I constantly toss and turn---and let me tell you my mattress is NICE. My pillows and comforter are extravagant but that doesn't always solve sleep problems. Practicing Ayurveda and doing a 28 day Ayurvedic cleanse has been absolutely therapeutic for me. Your mind affects you in so many ways on a daily basis. Our brains are absorbing all kinds of information throughout the day and it's most of the time negative! By simply changing the way you eat to a healthier diet, it alters the kind of energy you are consuming on a daily basis. For example, if I go eat Chick-fil-a I am 100% going to feel extremely sleepy groggy afterwards. Why? Those chickens that are being factory farmed for fast food are dying and suffering when they are killed for consumption. That negative energy STAYS in the meat and...

Sattvic Energy

Sattva /Side to Side Movement        Sattvic movement is light, delicate, clear, and graceful. It is stillness and balanced. In yoga, these postures would be balancing postures or the Sattva of Namaste. It is the centering point of your practice, the point just prior to conversation. Sattva is Divine or Godly nature. It is the pure mind with no judgment nor self-awareness. When you are free of negative thoughts and emotions, Sattva produces enlightenment and self realization. The Sattvic approach views yoga practice as a journey with each yoga postures as a potential for both steady joy as well as challenge.  www.gobodhiyoga.com Gracen Kahn Pernia  © 2020 All Rights Reserved.

Happy Diwali!

Happy Diwali 🪔🎆🎇🌟💫✨🙏 “This beautiful festival is celebrated mostly by Hindus for 5 days. It symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.” I felt this in my SOUL. 🙏💛🌟🪔 I have an inner connection with Hinduism and love celebrating the light winning over the dark. As most of you know, I am a lightworker and am constantly battling dark beings almost every night. WE are winning. The light is winning and ALWAYS wins. Namaste 🙏 Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali
