In our latest blog, IFY Teacher Victoria Andrews sheds some light on the chakras: what they are, what they represent, and how we can connect with them through our yoga practice.

“The journey of a Yogi through their life-long yoga practice has some striking similarities to what a hero experiences in any traditional heroic tale!

In reality, the yoga practice itself is an incredibly personal one. Individuals experience yoga differently, as our bodies and minds operate under unique circumstances from one another. When we zoom out and look at the overall journey of practicing yoga throughout our lives, we may recognize certain similarities and shared experiences.”

When I first considered the title of this post, I thought, ‘Absolutely. Yoga and giving are naturally intertwined. A teacher giving their time and energy to their classes and yogis give themselves time on their mat to breathe and heal. The reciprocal exchange of energies during class, in my experience, is electric and addictive. The yoga practice ultimately allows every being in the room the opportunity to connect, share their light with the world, grow, and heal.
