Finding My Voice

After completing my yoga certification requirements, I have found my "voice". When leading a group of people in yoga, it is very important to me to have personality when speaking and even a little humor. 

Practicing yoga doesn't have to be something robotic and monotonous. It is SO important to have fun and really get honest with yourself. I truly feel so grateful and blessed to have the YTT I did because it really is like no other. I feel like I can connect with people on more than a physical level. Spiritual and energetic  connections are very powerful. 

I love just going with the flow and not being so robotic. Not everyone has the same bone size and body type. You must be gentle, lead with care, and use smart discretion. Some people may have health issues that limit them from typical asanas, so it is very important to guide everyone to something they can do. 

I have been called a "natural" for leading groups and helping people go within and get honest with themselves. A lot of us can be stuck in an unhealthy programming of lying to ourselves which can lead to limiting beliefs and an unhealthy mindset towards our daily lives. By testing our edges and believing we can do anything we put our mind to leads to growth. 

Namaste

One of my favorite things I've recently cherished

I have never had upper body strength, core strength, or even great balance. I practiced and practiced Vrksasana (tree pose) until I got it right. I learned how to allow myself to trust myself. This was HUGE for me. By learning this, I can stand anywhere, away from a wall and balance because I learned to allow. Also, I perfected my ardha chandrasana (half moon) asana on my right side. I am still practicing it on my left side because I'm not as strong on my left. I don't have to use any assistance because I practiced so much. I learned from that asana that certain things take time. Focus in the moment and be present. That...

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

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.
