Hello Hip Openers...

This weekend I had the honor and the opportunity to be able to take a workshop with Sahala. 💓 Learning to Let Go with Sahala

Sahala is a huge inspiration for me becoming a yoga teacher and the way I love to make a good playlist is something that comes from her. I remember taking classes with Sahala for years and the growth & support from her is something I will always cherish. Both personally and professionally. The love I have for her will always be there and my heart always fills when she is able to come teach a workshop to our amazing Firefly community.

This yoga workshop today was on learning to let go. That could be a person or a thing. Or really whatever came to you throughout this class. We worked on poses that would help to release the trauma we carry in our bodies and man did it get things moving around for me.

Emotionally I was drained. I thought about a lot of people during this 90 minute workshop. People I’ve been holding on to and I should probably let go. And that letting go doesn’t have to be a bad thing or a negative thing. Maybe that person was in your life for a season. But today I focused on the reason they were in my life for a season. What did I get from them, how did I learn from them, and how could I release them in a positive light.

Yoga is much more powerful than one could imagine. Yes, it’s great movement for your body. Yes, it’s a great time to connect to your breath. Yes, it’s a great time to connect to your mind. But it is also a transformative experience. Inner and outer.

In this 90 min workshop I got much more than I bargained for and it really put my mind at a different level. And boy were my hips open and emotions running. 🤣

Today as I sit here to write this I think of who I am, who I want to let go, and what can I let go. Things or people that no longer show up or support me in the version of me I want to be and letting go of the attachment that may carry in my heart, mind, and body.

Today I am thankful for the opportunity to be led by the incredible human Sahala is. Today I am thankful for everyone and everything that has led me to be where I am today. Today I will let go of negative unwanted feelings. Today I will remember everyone I love and have loved and value them in the same way. Today I will be a little bit stronger than I was yesterday.

Thanks for reading my thoughts and experience!! Talk to you again soon 🤗
