One tween's incredible journey of discovering self-trust at yoga

Does your child prefer tricks or treats?

With Halloween approaching, it had us thinking that we love how yoga offers your child tricks and treats.

Yoga can be tricky.

It requires focus and attention,

As well as inner strength and determination.

But sometimes the biggest trick of all comes from within.

Recently in class, one of our longest practicing students shared an amazing insight that made my heart soar with so much pride.

The children were working on mastering crow pose.

Crow pose is a challenging pose that ignites core strength.

The hand placement is important,

The shoulders become strong,

The knees hug into the armpits,

And a lot of focus is needed

to float the feet off the ground whilst flying like a crow.

But, the most astounding part …

was when our yoga captain openly shared her wisdom to mastering this pose.

“At first I was worried I was going to fall on my face, but then I realised I just needed to trust myself.”

This is one of the biggest wins of yoga.

When a student reaches that empowering moment of inner discovery at yoga.

What this child has discovered through yoga is an incredible lesson she will take with her for the rest of her life.

When we trust ourselves, we are capable of anything.

When we discover self-trust, we ignite self confidence.

What an amazing trick to learn at such a young age!
