5Q Interview @hillaryagrayoga
1.) Tell me about your personal journey with yoga. Why is it important to you?
My yoga journey isn’t linear at all. Like my life, my yoga practice has its ups and downs. I started practicing in middle school when my aunt took me to my very first power yoga class. I just thought it was a cool and unique workout, not something I’d commit my life to figuring out. After a long road of pain, hurt, trauma and depression I found my yoga mat again. My yoga practice is sacred and my yoga mat is where I find solace. I know yoga is important to me because it has seriously impacted my life in huge ways: I am able to find comfort and wholeness in my body, I am not so eager to jump to rage, aggression or apprehension as a first response to stress, I am able to love others more and find gratitude in little things, I can release tension that’s been stored in my body for lifetimes or more, my health has improved significantly/I feel strong, and I feel more compassion towards others.
