Place of Growth

Meet Katy: I knew that something was missing in my physical life. I was beginning to have aches and pains, and even getting up and down from the floor was difficult and I could barely touch my toes. Yoga seemed like the logical answer. I had heard so much about Liz, and Greenville Yoga was convenient. I walked in originally around 5 or 6 years ago. Little did I know at the time that the holes in myself were much more than physical!

My participation in the beginning was sporadic, at best. I would go when I was at rock bottom, looking for external comfort. Maybe once or twice a month. I now attend class 2-4 times a week, every week. And I miss it so much on days that I can’t go.

I think the difference between my first experiences and my current experience is that years ago, I just was not at a place in my life where I valued quiet. Or valued myself. I was afraid of being with myself - afraid of what I would find if I looked too closely at myself. I would not (could not?) truly disconnect long enough to feed my spirit even for an hour or two a week. I was a wreck. And the constant noise and activity and busyness that I was surrounding myself with was making things worse.

Do I look physically different after becoming a yoga regular? Probably not. But I feel totally transformed. My love and devotion to a practice has touched every single aspect of my life. Being kinder to myself has increased my capacity for kindness to others. Everything in my life experience is shifting towards compassion, peace and strength. Greenville Yoga is an incredibly safe and loving place. There is no judgment or competition. It is a place of growth. It is where I belong.
