I found the beautiful practice called yoga 182 days ago, every single day since I have been healthier, not only physically but most of all but spiritually and emotionally! I have gained so much from finding Yoga with Adriene on YouTube! I am absolutely in love, passionate, dedicated and want to share this beautiful practice with so many others! I had a tough childhood as many others out there have also had unfortunately, so my goal is not to make money from learning what I learn in this school, but to share this knowledge I gain with so many others! I want to dedicate time to rehab facilities, I want to share this beautiful practice and what I learn with children, young adults anyone who has been through any kind of trauma in their lives!!!! I want to give back so much of what I've already gained in only 182 days of yoga with as many beautiful people as I can! I want to share this love, this happiness that yoga brings into one's life. I'm so very, very grateful that I finally after many, many years of talking about giving yoga a shot, THAT I DID. It's changed my life in so very many ways! My happiness and childhood was taken from me at the young age of 9, now I am NOT saying this for pity but am saying this because I can now honestly say that I'M HAPPY! Not just a normal happy I'm happy within, I feel like I have my childhood back, I actually can say that I LOVE MYSELF, and not in a selfish way in a very good for your soul way! I just feel that this is my path, this is a journey I will forever be on, I want to share what I learn with as many as I can. I want others to feel this love for themselves! I want to give, I've never felt a need or want to do something so passionately! I want to make a difference in this world even if I only help one person, that's great!!!! This world needs love, kindness, and as much GOOD as we can give it, and I feel that this is the way I can make that difference. So I'm asking and I'm not one to ask for anything, even my husband lol for money, I'm a little too independent on that end, but I'm now a stay at home mom and I have no income of my own and I promise you if you could help me, I will give you my word that I will give so much love, kindness, and all those wonderful things yoga has given me back to as many people that are willing to accept that gift! That's the perfect thing to call yoga and it just hit me now.....it's a gift! I want to thank Adriene Mishler for giving me such a beautiful life changing and saving gift! Thank you all. Much love, much peace and much happiness to all.
