What are you becoming? We all have high hopes of becoming our best selves, living our best lives, and achieving our dreams. As we navigate through life, we accumulate influences that shape our perceptions, beliefs, and behaviors. Sometimes, these influences hinder us from becoming our best selves, leading us to unauthentic lives. In order to be our best, we must un-become what no longer feels true.
Un-become What We Are Not
Before we can become our best selves, un-become, or shed the layers of conditioning we have developed. Often, these are limiting beliefs or unhealthy habits that hold us back. Yoga can help us to observe these influences without judgment and to release them with compassion. By cultivating a non-judgmental and compassionate mindset, we can transform our negative patterns and habits into positive ones.
Becoming Authentic
Becoming our best selves requires authenticity, which means being true to ourselves and living in alignment with our values and purpose. Yoga helps us connect with our inner truth by providing a safe space to explore our thoughts and emotions. Through yoga, we learn to listen to our intuition and let go of societal expectations or external influences that no longer serve us. We begin to feel more comfortable in our own skin, and by embracing our unique qualities and imperfections, we become more authentic.
Becoming Real
Being vulnerable and honest with ourselves and others is a key component of becoming our best selves. Yoga teaches us the importance of being present and engaged in the present moment and not allowing external distractions to hinder us from creating meaningful connections. As we practice, we learn to let go of our ego, open up our hearts, and create meaningful relationships with ourselves and others.
To become your best self, you must cultivate self-love and acceptance and express gratitude for who you are. Gratitude for your breath, your body, and your mind. Yoga inspires a deeper sense of compassion and self-love by creating a safe, judgment-free zone to explore your mind and body. By nurturing that self-love, you can become more resilient and connected to the present moment and feel more confident to make meaningful and intentional decisions toward becoming your best self. Being your true self and living a life to be proud of.

Reiki Training and Attunements
WHAT IS REIKI? Reiki is the art of conducting life force energy for healing and raising vibrations in the body. Reiki helps us shed old layers of conditioning and releases trapped energy in the body to help us connect to ourselves at a deeper level. A Reiki treatment helps you move trapped energy to heal the energetic body. Reiki Level One Attunement will help you open your body and heal yourself using your own energy. Reiki Level Two Attunement will open your energy to heal others with Reiki energy. Master-level Reiki Attunements are offered by private session only.
To schedule a treatment, send Lynn an e-mail.
