Yoga Strong Bonnie Weeks

This past week I did a terrifying thing. It excited me and it's what I asked for, though. 

I spoke at an event. And I'm sharing this to illustrate the importance of saying yes to scary opportunities. And the need to trust yourself and give permission to explore and experiment. 

This is about owning your voice and building a creative life that is unique to you.

Takeaways:

Say yes to scary opportunities and trust yourself to figure it out as you go.
Give yourself permission to explore and experiment.
Own your voice and build a creative life that is unique to you.
Pay attention to your body language and how it impacts your emotions and feelings.
Embrace the space between excitement and terror and step into scary opportunities.
Remember that your voice matters and keep nurturing it.

It's often said in yoga classes that emotions are stored in our hips. It's offered as a statement but today, I want to offer it as a question to explore. 
Takeaways
Emotions are not necessarily stored in our hips; they are part of our overall human experience.We are more than one thing, and our emotions can be felt in various parts of our body.The hips are connected to the chakra system, representing safety, security, creativity, and expression.Pain, pleasure, and discomfort are subjective experiences that vary from person to person.Yoga practice can help us build a relationship with our bodies and explore different sensations and emotions.Weekly stories by email from Bonnie’s HERE

Today I share my newfound appreciation for anger and the importance of allowing it to flow through me. 

Recently, a beloved tree next to my house was cut down and it evoked some intense emotions. Through the experience, I came to understand the power of expressing anger and grief without apology and the value of having a witness who can hold space for these emotions. 

I share reflections on the process of embracing anger, alchemizing it into beauty, finding poetry in difficult experiences, and allowing anger to guide your growth and self-discovery.
