Many people that know me are aware of the fact that I have a strong passion for helping others through fitness and wellness, and I have for almost 20 years. I can finally say I am going to teach yoga. This is something I have wanted to do for quite some time. After teaching Spin, along with a variety of other fitness classes and personal training the last 15 years, 2020 has allowed me the opportunity to finally have the time to take a yoga teacher certification course. I am proud to say I am part of a Costa Yoga graduating class filled with incredible humans, and am approaching completion of my 200 hour course. I am, what I like to say, over the rainbow excited to share yoga through Sunbow!
What is yoga? I have learned so much through my course at Costa Yoga and it thrills me to share my knowledge. It is NOT fancy poses (asanas) or who looks best doing it or who has the cutest yoga outfit on, yoga is BREATH. Yoga is not how it looks, but how it FEELS. Yoga is connecting mind, body and breathe; and I want to teach this, share this and guide meditation, and I finally am going to! Over the years, I have encountered many individuals who feel intimidated by yoga, therefore they do not try it or they try one or two classes and stop going. I want to students to be comfortable no matter what level they are at. I want students to know they can modify poses. I want students to learn more about what yoga TRULY is. I also believe humans are like trees; different sizes, shapes, colors, flexibility and height. However, just like in everyday life, NONE of these factors matter. EVERYONE CAN DO YOGA!
I made some Sunbow Strength videos earlier this Spring and I am excited to start putting out some Sunbow Yoga videos to share with all of you. Sunbow Yoga will be for all levels, even if you have never done yoga. The year of 2020 has presented plenty of challenges on so many various levels. For me, being furloughed followed by a layoff, not knowing what my income will be in the coming months, moving out of my home, financial concern and the industry of spa and fitness where my true passion lies is quite difficult right now in many ways. The wellness industry is focused on helping others, which is why I am passionate about it and why I want to give you Sunbow Yoga. The silver lining for me this year has been working on making more dreams a reality, so with that being said I hope you all are as excited as I am for Sunbow Yoga coming this Fall! Dreams don’t have to be forgotten, pivoting is just necessary in the process of making them reality.
Mandy Lawson is the Owner and Trainer of Costa Yoga where I took my certification course. Here is her website. http://www.cabuyalodge.com/200hourytt I believe the world needs more humans spreading kindness, sharing the knowledge of what yoga truly is, how to practice yoga and a daily reminder to BREATHE! If you have any interest in teaching yoga and taking a 200 hour course, I highly recommend Mandy, she’s amazing!
NAMASTE my friends! Make it a beautiful day!
