Where does one start to tell a story transformation? I had been clinically depressed for many years with just a flicker of hope that I would find my way out. Then one very serendipitous day, I walked into a tiny yoga studio and things started to slowly change. After searching for several years for help, that day I was fortunate enough to discover a somewhat unknown yoga practice called Kundalini yoga and meditation. Quite uncharacteristically of my state of mind at the time, I blurted out that I wanted to commit to 30 days in a row of this practice after only the second class. Even more surprisingly, after only two weeks, this voice piped up again and said that I would commit myself to 90 days of Yoga. “Oh my god, what have I done?” echoed in my mind for several days after the announcement. I was committed, so now I just had to show up.
I was not in good physical condition and each class was another reminder of the pain I was carrying. It was the first time in my life I had ever committed to anything in this way. Funny how the soul can step in at just the right time and take over.
That was almost two years ago, and much has changed since then. The studio where I had been taking classes closed suddenly. I was then faced with the dilemma of where I could continue to practice. I knew first-hand what an incredible and empowering practice this was. Simply put, I made a snap decision to open a new studio. It’s called Bound Lotus Meditation and Yoga Centre (www.boundlotus.ca).
I am thrilled to be serving the North Shore Community with this truly transformational practice. Once again, as with the 90 days of Yoga, it is a matter of showing up every day, and trusting that all will be well. And so far, it is!
Sat Nam,
