Free to Be Yoga with Christy

Extrovert or Introvert? . For the majority of my life I have been an extreme extrovert. Overly independent, stubborn, energetic, outgoing, etc. I was always so unsettled and restless, needing to have that "next thing" to check off my bucket list . The thing I am the most thankful for over the last year is the forced "stop" in my life. For the first time ever, I was told that I had to stay home and I couldn't keep reaching for "what's next?" While that came with loneli...ness, anxiety, fear, and hardships for many, including myself, I have enjoyed finding the lessons in the stillness . What I found out during that isolation was that I am more of an introvert than I had initially thought. For the first time in my life I had to look inward to find happiness and I found so much to be thankful for. My health, my partner, my family, my friendships, my home. What abundance I have found in the things I once took for granted Gratitude changes everything. What are you thankful for? . Getting back to my yoga practice, mobility, flexibility, and fitness #postpartum has been hard work, but has been so worth it. Looking forward to getting back on my mat with you, but enjoying every minute as it comes and listening to my body every day . #freetobeyoga #freetobeyogawithchristy #freetobeyogi #yogaeverydamnday #yogadaily #yogisofinstagram #yogateachersofinstagram #yogateacher #ryt200 #ryt200hr #ryt #vinyasaflow #vinyasa #yoga #yogi #myyogapractice #myyogajourney See more

What an incredible gift it is to create life and carry life. During these last few days of pregnancy I am feeling so grateful for the time I have had two hearts beating within this body. . . I am also very grateful for my daily yoga practice and the time on my mat. I have honoured my body and listened to what it needed during this pregnancy. Listen closely to what your body is telling you. It knows what it needs

I didn't know if my heart would have enough room in it for another tiny human the way I loved my daughter, but it's amazing how your world and your heart grow once they're here. . . I wanted to let everyone know that i will be returning to teach yoga at some point in 2021 and will definitely be offering my beach yoga again next summer, so stay tuned. For now I'm going to soak up all the baby snuggles and time with my little family .... . Thank you to everyone who has followed my journey, taken my classes, or inspired me to continue this work.

Thank you to everyone who has joined my #ZoomApp classes over these past few months. You have helped me connect, keep a space for "normal", and and remain active during my pregnancy. . . Unfortunately, I am unable to continue with the classes from home. It is too much on my body to do the whole class myself while teaching, which is why I'll be focusing on my beach yoga classes, where I can instruct while doing minimal postures until baby arrives or when my body says it's ...time. . . Thank you for your support and love! I am so grateful for all of you. I hope to see you with the sand between your toes, while we #beachflow . . #listentoyourbody #prenatalyoga #pregnantyogi #gratitude #beachyoga #novascotiayogis See more
