Why I want to be a Yoga Warrior

Why am I doing this to myself?

I’m not one to enter into a popularity contest, not because I think badly of them, quite the opposite.

I don’t enter contests like this because I have always cared more for the well-being of my mental health than winning a popularity contest.

______________________________

This is my opportunity to share my story with a larger audience.

6 years ago I thought my yoga career had to end because of my hip injury. But it didn’t have to end, I just needed someone to talk to.

I needed a yoga model of what it looked like to overcome a career-ending injury and I never found it.

_______________________________

I needed a yoga teacher to prove to me there was life after injury and I had no one to turn to. This is why I decided to become that model for someone else.

6 years ago people did not talk about 40 year old yoga teachers having both hips replaced and 6 years ago there was not one yoga teacher on the planet still teaching high-energy classes like mine with two new hips.

I know there are yogis and yoga teachers out there living in pain and I know I can help.

This is why I have set aside my views and put myself out there for all to judge because I want to share my story.

Yes the $10,000 would be helpful but it’s the two-page yoga journal spread that made me enter.

I want the opportunity to talk to yogis who are in pain and who live with pain on the daily to give them hope. I can do this with this contest. If my story can help then I have to enter and I have to ask for votes.

Read my entry and if you feel I can help people who suffer from chronic pain then please vote for me.

Vote for me today and every day until the contest ends.

The vote is free or you can donate to the Veterans Yoga Project ($1=1 vote) to give me extra votes and for you to give love to this amazing group supporting veterans and their families with free yoga classes.

Every dollar and every vote counts.

Please take a moment and vote for me today.

Thank you ❤️
