LOOK AT HOW FAR YOU'VE COME.

‘Look how far you’ve come….and then keep going.’

Last night while teaching yoga I played an old playlist for no particular reason.

The music transported me back to the early days of teaching yoga. A small studio in Cochrane where I formed my teaching roots. A young girl of 35 fresh out of her yoga teacher training in India, in her first couple of months of sobriety.

Shaky in her voice and unsteady in her stance all while wide eyed with possibility. Driving through blizzards, teaching to classes of one, showing up relentlessly for the service that was anchored in her heart. A deep unknowing of where her bones of yoga were taking her with an unwavering knowing she didn’t have a choice - this path had captured her.

It made me smile thinking back to those days, becoming aware of what has shifted - the growth that has been made, the pivotal relationships formed, the reclamation of pieces along the way.

The commitment of service, teaching & being a guide for transformation the foundation that kept her going. Not knowing how she wanted to show up in the world - but knowing she had to. That she had to continue the deep work and to follow this path with no idea where it would lead to.

At 40 the shakiness in my voice has descended deep into the roots of the earth - a solid foundation met with a steady stance. The wide eyed possibility alchemized into a soft surrender. The not knowing held in the most loving embrace of ‘you’ve actually always known’. You always knew what you were destined for it was just falling upon fearful ears all those years ago. And you do know where you’re going you’re just trusting another to lead the way.

All the years of inner work, dismantling and healing creating a solid foundation, a container to lead the way, a space for others to sink back into their own re-membering, into their own truth that has always been there along the way.
