Beaming diidhiti {Wrap Up}

It’s hard to believe that it has been a month already! I’m beyond grateful for Thais and Faern helping putting together this beautiful series on inspiration and what our yoga means to us on and off the mat. I’m extremely proud of all of us for being able to really open up – not just to our own readers, but to those on other blogs as well. So what did we learn about ourselves and each other this past month?

Thais opened up about her reason for practicing yoga here on Imagine Balance. Like many of us, she has issues with food. As a binge eater, she has found yoga to be perfect for learning to embrace herself, eating disorder and all. Please head over and read the full post if you haven’t yet!

The following week, Thais headed over to Faern’s blog to talk about how yoga inspires her off the mat. She wrote a beautiful post about setting your drishti in life. A wonderful post about setting goals.

Faern started the series off on Thais’ blog talking about the varying ways yoga inspires her off the mat. One of them (and the most important we can all take notice of) is that life is worth living. You should really head over and check out the great post and breathtaking photos.

The following week she came here to Imagine Balance to talk about what gets her on the mat. For her, it’s about believing in her Self or more importantly, taking time for her Self. In a crazy, busy, stressful life, she uses yoga exactly how I believe it’s meant to be used.

I opened Beaming diidhiti at Faern in the Works talking about how I take yoga into the world. You see, I used to be a book addict (technically I still am) and I was using books to escape my life. Yoga is helping me be conscious of my time and my life goals.

The second week I stopped by Living in the (K)now to open up about my own food and body issues. It was the first time I had openly talked (and was openly honest with myself) about not liking my body and how yoga is a huge part of my path to change that.
