Yoga for the Heart

My first yoga teacher training signaled the end of my childhood. I was in such a loving and supportive environment that a lot of voids from my adolescent years was made up. The whole philosophy of yoga focuses on accepting things exactly as they are. Learning about yoga, and at the same time supported by strong and ol...wise people who appreciate me just as I am, for the first time I felt protected from the harsh realities that I have lived with for the most part of my life.

To me the ending day of our training felt like my overdue adulthood initiation. I have received so much love, guidance and support for growh, now what do I do when it is time to leave and make it back on my own? When it is time to grow up? How am I going to face the unwilling heart when I am again facing the world that used to scare me?

Compared to the previous ones, this video is more personal. I made it the way as I would share a personal diary. I paid tribute to my yoga teachers, contemplated the meaning of true love, and made my decision to bear the responsibility of adulthood. A month later, I founded The Courage to be Me :)

My favorite quote from this video: The old eagle would drop the youngster from the sky...that is how the young ones learn how to fly.
