Happy • 🧘♀️ Sometimes you gotta practice for yourself and no one else. 🙏🏾 My version of the crow pose has taken a lot of practice AND a lot of falls, but I get back up and keep trying. 🙌🏾
I’ve practiced more yoga during the last year than I ever have in my life. Working my way to becoming a 200+ hours instructor takes a lot of time and commitment, but I’m dedicated and here for it.
My appreciation for the practice has grown so much and has helped me get through this unpredictable year. I’ve come to love it more and more everyday and the calm it brings to my sometimes hectic schedule. Today I taught two yoga classes and am thankful that I can share with others the same joy it brings to me. 🙏🏾
