Yoga can give you the confidence to stand tall and be in this moment. This moment is the only place to thrive and find happiness. Find confidence in yourself and your practice this week at Sunshine.
I remember five years ago when Jennifer walked into the studio on Matlock with her mom. She went to the very back of the studio for every class. I could see and feel her need to hide. Now, Jennifer walks tall and never hides. Jennifer is unapologetic about being herself, and that is powerful. I LOVE to see her now.
Meet Jennifer; this is her story...
"I wish I could start by telling you that I began my yoga practice healthy and strong both physically and mentally, but, like a lot of us, I can't. I started my yoga practice at 34 years old, during my last semester at UTA where I was working on my life-long dream to graduate college. I was struggling physically, making it to 180 pounds by eating that college diet, and mentally, developing depression and panic attacks, when one of my professors introduced me to yoga and I decided to change my life.
I also wish I could tell you my yoga journey began and it was up from there, but it wasn't. What I can tell you is that after continuing to put one foot in front of the other and understanding that some days are one step forward and two steps back, I fell in love with my practice and began to like myself.
At 39 years old, I walked into Sunshine Yoga Shack, beginning another pivotal moment that allowed me to change my life again. Looking for guidance and knowledge and some fun aerial, I met Lynn Rozak and an entire tribe of family that loved me unconditionally and continues to do so every day. My practice grew tenfold (that yin helps!), but my confidence and the love I started to feel for myself and others grew even deeper.
That overweight, scared, panicked, sad girl who started this journey is no longer the person you see today. Yoga didn't change me, yoga gave me the strength, the courage, the support, and the love to change myself. If I can do it, so can you."
I love Jennifer's story, and I love to see this strong, beautiful woman and how she inspires everyone who comes to her class.
