STORY OF ANILA
I started my journey with Yoga as a stretching practice after my training at the gym. That is what I thought Yoga was. I was going through such a difficult time emotionally, which stayed with me for years. Suppressed emotions, stress and shame which was built up within me for years. Also, living in foreign countries alone since I turned 18 added the feelings of unworthiness and the sense of “not enough”. I studied a lot to hide behind the image of a good student, without noticing all what I was suppressing within me. I started to notice that things were deteriorating. For almost 6 years, I was fighting acne. I tried all kind of treatments in three different countries where I lived, but nothing. Then, I decided to take charge of my life and fix it on my own terms without medication. Through Yoga and a clean diet my skin was absolutely transformed within months. Also, I used to feel drowsy, but slowly after my Yoga practices, I noticed that the levels of my energy was increasing, including the quality of my sleep. I started to deal with my “problems” with so much ease. The very way I perceived life shifted. I can’t really explain all what was happening to me but I wanted this transformation to happen to everyone. So, I made a decision to become a Yoga Teacher. After 5 months of intense training at Isha Center in India, going through a lot inside and outside, I now can give these tools of transformation to everyone who is willing to receive them. Even right now, I can’t find the words to explain what has happened and is happening to me every day that I do my practices. What life is, can’t be explained into words. That is the same with Yoga. They say it is the Union with the Divine within you. You have to give all of you into it. You have to experience, to know what this is, otherwise it is just words. Today, I can say that all I was going through was not because of people outside, it was all about me, the way I was feeling inside.
In is the way out. Start your journey within.
