2 years.
That’s how long it took for me to finally FEEL myself pulling my shoulders up towards my ears.
2 years of (extremely patient) yoga teachers whispering “Relax your shoulders” and gently tapping on them before I actually felt myself doing it and could correct myself.
The light bulb of awareness went off. . . and then I began realizing how often I did that in the rest of my life.
ALL. OF. THE. TIME.
I lived like that. . .
At my desk
Driving to work
Checking my phone.
I also had headaches. ALL. OF. THE. TIME.
It was a way of life. Another week, another headache.
That’s how it had been since a car accident at age 19.
It took 10+ years of pain and 2 years of a consistent yoga practice to realize that - without meaning to - I WAS MAKING THINGS WORSE.
I was so unaware of my own habits and posture that I didn’t realize how much extra strain I was creating.
No wonder my neck hurt. No wonder my shoulders were always stiff. . .They never got a break.
It took a handful of amazing teachers shining light on my (massive) blind spot. . . many times a week for 2 years until it finally sank in.
I now have a headache about twice a year (usually following a night of one too many glasses of wine with my besties 🍷🥂). . . versus several times a week.
I no longer carry Advil in my purse.
I no longer NEED weekly massages.
That’s the power of a great teacher.
It’s not just the exercises or the accountability.
It’s the magic that lies in the small details that have the power to change everything.
It’s being seen and being shown another way to move and live.
A great teacher empowers YOU to be your own expert.
So that:
You don't need someone else to "fix" you.
You are confident and capable of healing yourself - and maintaining your gains over time.
My life changed because of the power of a great teacher.
I want that for you too.
I’ve got something big coming to announce later this month.
