From Becca:
My yogic path began as a young adult, as a means to supplement my physical training at the gym. At first, it was a means to greater strength and flexibility, another class I could take to get healthy.
As my practice deepened though, I began to notice more than physical effects. I started experiencing a deeper calmness in everyday routines. Things that triggered anxiety became more manageable with breathwork, stress and bodily tension was dealt with through a quick few poses during lunch breaks. I began to rely on it for emotional wellness during times of stress. Life became more manageable when things would usually feel like they were drowning me with responsibility.
Yoga had opened this huge door for me to healing my physical and emotional well being, that had eluded me for what seemed like a lifetime! Before I found yoga, I wondered if I would ever feel normal. The answer was YES! Even in my late 20's after a serious car accident, I turned to yoga as soon as I was well enough to begin my healing process. I began practicing everyday, with the intention of healing my fears of driving again, and the physical pain I was experiencing. Yoga supported me through managing my anxiety behind the wheel of my car, gave me full range of motion in my body, and alleviated much of the back pain I was experiencing almost everyday before I stepped into the studio for the first time in over two years.
As my body healed, the anger and depression that accompanied the accident were slowly released. I felt a deep gratitude for myself for going, and for he teachers that guided me along the path, their lights shining bright to help me find the way.
Having a fully functioning body, a clear mindset, and a release from trauma is a gift. A yoga practice I can help others with in similar situations, or dealing with emotional well being, would be my way of continuing to share the gift that was given to me: a healthy body and mind to continually do the things we love to do without fear or pain.
If you feel moved to support my cause, please donate, and add your name to the bottom of this post or message me that you donated so we can keep track of who is donating for who. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am grateful for you.
