Summary
Did you know that yoga is so much more than stretching and moving through poses? Spoiler: that’s just one limb of yoga - and there are eight. We’ve talked a lot about finding stillness, peace, making connection to the breath, and flowing into your creativity. And that all sounds so simple, but finding ways to reframe our relationship to our inner and outer world is such a game-changer.
For me, yoga helped me open my eyes to the ways I can be present with myself and tune into my own form of balance. I’ve just completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training, and it’s taught me a lot about mindfulness and the gift it is to be one with yourself. In this episode, I’ll be sharing my journey into yoga and the lessons that I’ve learned so you can carry them with you without having to pick up the practice if you don’t want to.
And bonus - Dive into the Reframing the Reset Challenge! It’s free, you can move at your own pace, and it’ll help you take action on what we’ve been exploring this season. Snag your roadmap here → balancedblackgirl.com/reset
