It is about seeing the growth in people.  The postures are good pathways to be with you - to feel present.   The Hoola Hoop Analogy  - ask CaAtherine about it. In chair yoga, I have more opportunity to be comfortable being with me.    As yoga teachers, the biggest gift we can give someone is to guide and support them on whatever they need   in order for them to do healing.  We can’t heal anyone, people have to do that for themselves.  Getting back to yourself is healing.   Yoga is for every-BODY!

Being able to forgive leads to freedom.  We can’t be strong 24/7.  We can grow - growing never stops.  Let go and not bring the shame across as we move forward.  How to forgive:  Acknowledge that you took a detour.  Say to yourself: "It’s OK. I forgive myself. I'm going let this go."  Feel the positive energy that comes from the release.   Life is meant to be enjoyed - not lived in constraints.   Love yourself as you journey through.  Mon, 05 Oct 2020 04:00:00 +0000 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1200842/5741644-episode-16-self-forgiveness.mp3?blob_id=23685844 https://www.buzzsprout.com/1200842/5534374-episode-15-self-perception-from-a-plus-sized-woman.mp3?blob_id=22597558 How often do you judge yourself or others?   Each and everyone of us do it.  Especially when it comes to judging our plus sized bodies. In today's episode I share with you self perception as a plus sized woman. Historically, plus-sized bodies have been around for a long time.  Women were deemed big and strong -  the equal of men.  Love yourself, curves and all! Create the happiness from within. My self-perception has to be healthier and happier.  The perception of self is affected by those of us who have been fat-shamed. Chat with me over at...
