About this Episode: I reconnected with an old homeschooling friend one day for tea at her place back in 2012, a few months after my daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and during an increasingly difficult time for my family. She told me I should register for her yoga teacher training. Teacher? I didn’t even have that on my radar. But I agreed. I needed to do it for many more reasons than my physical health. I knew that. So, I registered, of course, and committed to 10 weekends over the course of 10 months of dragging my kids to the city so I could spend hundreds of hours practicing both physical and mental yoga. I embarked on a journey not only of my physical self but my mental, emotional, and spiritual self. I liked and disliked my friend-turned-teacher at the same time, feeling unimportant, small, and sorry for myself as the whole experience pulled me apart then helped me put myself back together, weekend after weekend. I trained not for any arbitrary competition or gain but for the very practice of living. I learned how to be strong and to focus so I could “bring it” when I needed to be ready, no matter what life threw at me. I learned to catch myself before I slid away into ill health; before I settled for a new normal way before my time. Physical engagement, and in particular, yoga, saved me and continues to save me. Join me as I walk you through the many benefits of yoga, hopefully inspiring you to train your body, mind, and heart for the art of living!
