Why does Victoria teach?

 

This is a long & enjoyable question to answer. I just smiled when I read it. That’s what Yoga does to me, or how Yoga makes me feel. It is a fulfilling sensation that I feel, love and enjoy to share with others.

 

I would say it is a duty to share and teach others all the positive elements and experiences that I have learnt and received from my practice.  My life changed completely when I started practicing Yoga. I think the least I can do is to help others to have the opportunity to start this magical inner trip.

I started to feel the physical improvement, I began to get an amazing peace of mind and stress relief.

 

The evolution and changes in my spirit were growing so fast that people who knew me began to see the difference. And new people just wanted to work with or just be around me because I was a calm and peaceful being. They asked how I managed that working stress without going crazy and being always successful and responsible in what I was doing. I think that sharing it has made me grown even more. It has ensured the need to share it more and to do one thing that I really love to do. Teach.

 

When I first got into a Yoga Rhythm class, I didn’t know what it was. I had very little experience on

different classes. So I started thinking that it was just ‘another’ class...until the 2nd movement, the music got my soul. I couldn’t stop smiling, I couldn’t stop feeling good, energized, special. My whole being was taken somewhere else and my body had impressive reactions.

 

When I reached the warm and gentle visualization journeys I felt a teardrop falling on my cheek. And I knew it was happiness. I could feel my soul in a complete positive surrounding in and outside myself.

 

So I decided to go and enjoy that feeling as much as possible and discover that it was a growing feeling. Since then I have never missed a class.

 

I love music, dancing, movement, physical challenges and above all Yoga. So I just found the perfect union!

I want to learn, to share and to grow along with others in this life, to be a better being in this universe.

Patience. Strength. Temperance. Tolerance & Acceptance.

 

Please read Victoria’s personal outlook on life for you to feel inspired to live a +life.

 

ONESELF

 

‘no matter where you go, there you are’ Confucius

The body is never the same, some days you will find it more difficult to balance, to flex or just have less energy. However, by closing your eyes & looking into your heart, you will see that being deep inside is constant & reliable, it is you.

‘There is nowhere to go, you are already there’ Indian Proverb

Be content with yourself. The most important thing that we have is oneself. We must be aware of that, we have to know it, to feel it, to nourish it, to take care of it & to renew it.

The source of power, knowledge, peace & strength is found in your soul, not in your body.

 

Smile to yourself, hug yourself, love yourself J 

 

PATIENCE

 

‘Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished’ Lao Tzu

‘Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.’ Henry David Thoreau

Be patient with the one in front of you, be patient with yourself.

 

OPTION

 

We have the option in our hands, in our mind, in us.

We can choose to take care of it or not to.

We can choose to be happy or not to be.

We can choose to take out the tension or make it bigger.

 

THINK   

           

Just think what you want, we are what we think, we are what we feel, we are what we do. Change the way you think today, change the way you look at yourself and the way you see others. We become what we think.

 

CHANGE 

        

Don’t be afraid to change. Change is movement. Change is refreshing. Change is choosing, is having options. Change is getting rid of the old things & thoughts to make room for new ones. Don’t try to change the people that surround you. Learn to flow with the universe, be a part of it. Feel yourself like a piece of that whole puzzle. You control your life in this universe.

 

RENEW

 

If we don’t empty ourselves we won’t be able to receive. Remember new things need room to get in your life, in your body, in your mind.

 

 

THOUGHTS

 

Let your thoughts flow, whether they are good or

bad. They will pass, if you don’t let them flow, they will

fill your mind and block it. 

 

REMEMBER ‘What you resist will persist’
