I started doing yoga seriously in 2020.

I was going through a lot personally in addition to the pandemic that was sweeping all of us.

I can't remember why exactly I started doing Yoga, but I remember that the moment I really got into it, the more I told myself that I wanted to do more of it.

My relationship with fitness has been pretty complicated throughout the years, but now I can say that I've found a good workout routine that works for me and have gone back to incorporating Yoga into my regimine.

Outside of the physical benefits of doing Yoga, I find that Yoga has been great for me mentally and emotionally as well.

Back in 2020, I found Yoga as a place where I would meditate through each of the poses, blocking out the noise and silencing the racing thoughts in my head.

Today, I see Yoga as a way to honor and appreciate my body.

Yoga, unlike any other workouts, is pretty much you and your body. I find it the one place that you can truly see how far you can push yourself without any assistance. With Yoga, you can see just how strong your body is on its own while opening your mind and heart for more areas to play and explore.

I've also found Yoga to be very restorative and healing both emotionally and physically as well. If there is an area of my body that feels tight, I can get into different postures that can help me release the tension. This has allowed my body to feel lighter and more at ease while still building more resilience and strength.

If there's one thing I want to do more of in 2024 it's Yoga. I'm excited to play around and deepen my practice and see what comes of it.
