Being stuck in your head\u0003<\/strong>
\nturns out to be optional.<\/h1>\n

Do you wish you could get more done, focus on the people you love, feel energized, bring real pep to your work, focus your brain, pull it all off in style and actually feel less freaked out?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And have you ever noticed how repetitive all those thoughts get?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

They\u2019ll have you running in the same tired circles\u2014the \u201cshould and shouldn\u2019t\u201d loop, for example.<\/p>\n

\n

That was pretty typical of my pre-yoga and meditation life.\"\"<\/p>\n

I was disconnected from my body too, as I worked away at doing more, achieving more, training harder, eating better but also partying hard as my primary stress-chaser. It wasn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n

I honestly thought I was looking after myself and that happiness and contentment were just around the corner somewhere.<\/p>\n

Something was missing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t keep up this pace and I knew it.\u0003
\nAnd when was the joy going to kick in?<\/h2>\n

Stepping onto the mat wasn\u2019t a mind blowing experience right away.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yoga was a slow burner\u2014something I kept at each week. Even when I floundered, I\u2019d
\nleave feeling refreshed, peaceful and so clear in my mind.<\/p>\n

They say yoga finds you when you need it most.<\/h3>\n

That was true for me. My body was craving the slower, mindful movements, and to my surprise, it thrived on this new type of challenge\u2014which was so different from the ego-driven, \u201cno pain no gain\u201d movement I was used to.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

It soothed the intensity in my mind.<\/h4>\n

This kinder way of moving and relating to myself has drawn me inward and taken me closer to my dreams and deepest desires.<\/p>\n

Through yoga and meditation, I\u2019ve found transformation, laughter and freedom\u2014and I want the same for you.<\/p>\n
