Dinetta Hill, RYT 200 Yoga became my happy place. In 2015, I began my yoga journey after realizing I needed to create a form of balance in my life. They say that life has a way of letting you know when it’s time to slow down and refocus. That refocusing was one of my best decisions. Not knowing what to expect or all that yoga entailed, I registered for my first class determined to make self-care a priority. For me, yoga has become that bridge that taps into the spiritual and mental awareness. Mediation and mindfulness become apart of the practice and you began to experience what stillness and calm feels like in the body. You become in tune with the breath and understand this practice is not just on the mat, it’s a way of life and your daily interactions. Peace, grace and gratitude ring true . when I think of benefits mediation bring to my practice. Yoga allows me the space to develop at my own pace. When I started training to become an instructor, I knew I wanted to help others find peace and joy in the practice, in trusting themselves and showing up for themselves. My intention is to help others recognize the present moments by offering the space to connect with their mind, body and soul. Yoga is a journey and I’m excited to share in this journey with others.
