“ Keep doing the work to stay connected the universe, god….faith. Stay grounded especially when times were good”
Why do you practice yoga?
While the path of yoga ultimately leads to the union with our oneness (true nature), the journey there is as colorful as the flora and fauna of this Earth.
Yoga may mean different things at different times in your life - maybe at one point practice because it’s a good stretch and at another you want to press your body to new limits. Still, as your practice evolves you may move away from asanas (postures) altogether and become interested in the mindfulness and meditative part of the practice.
Sometimes, circumstances like a difficult challenge shifts your intention for practicing.
Today’s episode is a story of how yoga helped one woman through one of the toughest challenges of her life. In 2011, Nichole Hines’ young daughter was diagnosed with leukemia. Life as she knew it changed in the blink of an eye and the following year became about chemo, relapse and the children’s hospital.
Nichole Hines shares with us her journey, how her yoga practiced helped her stay anchored as she not only took care of her daughter but also run two businesses at the same time. Nichole shares with us her lessons learned on how to get through challenging times and her insights about human connection, faith, letting go and giving back.
This episode is so relevant right now because we’re all experiencing a challenging time worldwide. Nichole says “when you connect with others, you’ll find that your story isn’t so different from theirs”. I hope you find connection in this story. Happy Listening!
