Hello, my name is Sara and I'd like to tell you a bit about myself.
Who am I?
I don't know.
That's how I began my journey of discovery, the search for my truth.
I always thought I had to be and do what others expected of me. Growing up, I believed and integrated into myself many lies that I was told about myself.
I always thought I could hide from everything and everyone for the rest of my life, even from myself. And with this I lived, as if anesthetized, a "happy and comfortable" life, but feeling a huge emptiness inside. This emptiness became unbearable a few years after becoming a mother. There had to be something more than the routine of days on autopilot. I myself had now become unbearable, for those I love the most.
When we don't take care of ourselves, our frustrations and internal conflicts always end up being dumped on those who least deserve it.
On my path of discovery, I realized that I lacked moments of silence and this led me to transcendental meditation and, consequently, to yoga.
Since 2018, when I started meditating and practicing yoga, I've never stopped and I've integrated the practice into my daily life, and this has been the path that has led me to my discovery and internal healing.
Is it easy? No. It's quite challenging, but it has brought me a feeling of lightness, acceptance and inner peace in relation to who I AM. I AM. And BEING is everything, just BEING, without labels.
Yoga and meditation have brought me this clarity - life is a path, which can and must be taken every day - with Love, Kindness and Respect for my own time in returning to the Essence of my BEING - to my heart, which is nothing more than pure Love, which unites us with all that IS.
For whom?
For those of you who feel you can no longer live your life on "autopilot" and don't know how to get out of that pattern, but want to do something to take care of yourself. You can and should start by doing something different in your life. So, if the time has come for you to discover and heal yourself, join me on this journey back to your Essence.
I can guide you along this path of self-care and share with you little new habits that you can integrate into your day, every day, so that little by little you can connect more and more with that Divine place where your Essence lives.
So that you too can start living from your heart - your Essence.
How will practicing yoga and meditation help me?
Yoga is not about exercising, it's about looking inwards and connecting with your SELF, where there are no judgments, no criticisms, where the mind calms down and the Silence of infinite possibilities unites you with all that IS. The practice will help you as long as you do it with the intention of connecting with your Silence - your Essence.
Practicing with Love, Kindness and respecting your body and your time. You'll see that your "protective" layers fall away more and more and you'll have more and more access to your place of Truth, your heart.
Just let it flow: - "Breathe in - Breathe out" and feel yourself arriving at the Present moment, here and now, which is all there is.
