Taking Flight in Crow

If you are just getting to know me, one of the things that I love is hot yoga! I've been practicing for a little over a year now. I started in an effort to define something for myself. I found myself in a world that was so focused on others that I felt like I was forgetting myself and just going, going, going. I forced myself to stop, take a deep breath, get over my Mommy guilt and just do something that was purely for me.

And what was the result? I am a happier person, and I believe that I'm a healthier person for those around me as well. Personally, yoga helps me to centre myself, focus, and be mindful of what I put out in the world.

So what does all of that bring me to? The other morning I found my centre of balance and was determinately able to hold Bakasana or crow pose!

I was still crow it when the teacher cued to shoot back into downward dog. I just held on until I couldn't anymore and then laughed. I'd finally gotten out of my head and just was in the moment.

Which brings me back to making jewellery. As I said before I'm taking Indie Biz 3.0 and it's awesome, but it can be overwhelming in the magnitude of work that is involved; especially for those/most of us who have a full-time job on-top of a start-up/part-time business and family. So my take away this week is that if I allow myself to stop, breathe, and be in the moment it's all achievable!
