Balance your hormones

I’m a mother of two who basically fell into the world of yoga through not being able to train in the way I was always used to.

An insatiable curiosity for learning new things has always led me to doing course after course in many different areas, from personal training to massage, and for over a decade also within yoga.

Since a very young age I had a fascination surrounding the body and how it works, especially how we can get the most out of it.

And so, a once upon a time gym junkie turned into a yoga instructor that has gone through many changes.

After coming through the early years of having a family and all of what that entails, my body helped me understand that it wasn’t the gym I needed now, instead it was a slower mind-focused discipline that I needed, something to heal rather than tear.

One of the hardest parts for me was that I had always carried very strong ideas about what it meant to be healthy and fit, but my body wasn’t cooperating. I finally understood that I needed to train my body and mind more softly, to be able to nourishingly help myself heal from an aching body, the flu, and that depleted sensation of being so fragile that it felt as if someone was ripping me from the inside.

This is where yoga came into my life and I’ve never looked back.

Thanks to the many courses I had taken and the wise people around me, I started to open up my body more and more with every day that went by. Kundalini yoga, yin yoga, ayurveda, my guru’s, my husband and my children… are all a part of my healing journey.

They all helped me to start trusting myself and my body’s innate intelligence, and I rediscovered my purpose, and the importance of loving myself and others.

That is my foundation for a healthy life.

We all need someone but at the same time that someone is within us. We all have the love, the strength, the courage and joy inside of us, as long as we are willing to take the time to dare to scratch the surface and make some changes.

It’s so easy to forget about ourselves and so easy to make excuses…But life is here and now!!!

Thanks to all of this, my mantra has become “I'm living and loving life to the fullest!”
