Yoga is Like an Onion

Every time I peel an onion, I am reminded of my yoga journey: more than the poses, more than the meditation, more than the resting, yoga has given me the space to learn about my true self.⁠

Over the years, I've peeled back layer upon layer upon layer of walls, false beliefs, and stories about myself -- similar to the layers of an onion!⁠

It didn't happen magically on my mat one day. In fact, I wasn't even aware of it as it was happening (and it continues to happen!).⁠

Upon reflection, I can now see that it was in June 2015 that I truly began to uncover the real Jennie that slowly got buried over the years.⁠ Over the past six years, yoga has allowed me to open up to my true self.

Here are a few of the biggest revelations I've had:⁠

~ I'm braver than I thought.⁠
~ I have more patience than I imagined.⁠
~ I'm not as risk-adverse as I used to be.⁠
. ⁠
I can't say these thoughts were revealed in some spectacular way during a yoga class. But I do believe that spending time (whether it was five minutes or 60 minutes) connecting to my breath, body, and mind gave me the chance to ALLOW these truths to be revealed. ⁠
