Last week I completed my 300 hour advanced Yoga Teacher Training - A full circle journey which I am incredibly proud of.
Proud not because the journey was easy, but because I kept going when life felt impossibly heavy.
I came to my yoga training carrying grief. I felt lost, disconnected, and a shadow of the person I once was. I wasn’t searching for a new version of myself; I was simply trying to find a way through the darkness.
What I found was so much more than I ever expected.
Through my training, I learned not only about yoga, but about myself. I learned how to sit with discomfort instead of running from it. I learned patience, resilience, self-compassion, and trust. Slowly, breath by breath, lesson by lesson, I began to heal.
The grief that once consumed me no longer defines me. Instead, it became part of the path that led me back to myself.
As I look at where I am now, I can see just how far I’ve come. The person who began this journey could never have imagined this moment.
Because now, life has come full circle.
I am carrying a baby boy, and with him comes a beautiful realisation: he will know the strongest, healthiest, and most authentic version of me. He will be welcomed by a mother who has done the work to heal, grow, and rediscover herself.
Yoga training didn’t just change my life—it helped me reclaim it.
Every challenge, every breakthrough, every moment of doubt and every moment of growth has shaped the woman and mother I am becoming.
Today, I honour that journey.
I honour the woman who showed up despite her grief.
I honour the strength she found within herself.
And I honour the new life growing inside me, who will benefit from all the healing that came before him.
My story is proof that even from our hardest seasons, something beautiful can grow.
And for that, I am deeply proud.
Holly, .yoga.solution and my lovely yogis - thank you for holding space for me! I am incredibly grateful for you! 🙏🏻
