It's a daily practice, a life long journey, and, although this is just the beginning, I can already see, and feel the changes it's making in my life. I have a tendency of trying to protect my heart by staying guarded, which keeps me in the past. I've learned that in trying to protect my heart, I have kept myself from, truly, giving and showing love, as well as receiving love. I am beyond thankful to my teachers for pushing me, believing in me, and being such an inspiration.........and for showing me that what I fear the most, is exactly what I need! This practice makes me emotional, in a wonderful way........it's in my soul, and my heart! Ashtanga is a way of life on and off your mat, and this is only the beginning!
