As a yoga teacher and studio owner since 2014, I've had the pleasure of meeting and forming wonderful connections with students from diverse cultures and backgrounds. It brings me immense joy to connect with them on a deep level, whether it's through phone calls, going for a walk, or grabbing a coffee together. However, it's usually after our yoga classes when they feel most relaxed and open, sharing their stresses and personal challenges with me, and it's truly beautiful.

It's not uncommon for us to hold back our emotions out of concern for what others might think. We worry that expressing ourselves will make us seem needy or weak. Sometimes, when we do open up, we receive unhelpful feedback that only intensifies our negative emotions. Maybe we don't want to burden others with what's going on in our lives, or maybe we live alone and have gotten used to silently dealing with our problems. Especially after the pandemic, going through life without talking to someone can leave us feeling isolated and depressed. That's why I'm here to offer my support.

Since I started teaching yoga, many people have kindly asked if they can contact me after class to ask questions, and I'm always happy to offer whatever benefits them in their current life situation. I believe I've had one-on-one conversations with at least 500 of our students, with varying levels of experience, sometimes, with a sense of emergency, and the demand and positive feedback I've received have given me the confidence to offer my time to you. And you don't have to be my yoga student.

My intention is to create a private, open platform for anyone to reach out to me. Whether you have questions or are going through a difficult time in your life, with me, I hope you can freely express your feelings without too much concern. I'm here to help, and I'm grateful for your trust. I'm more than happy to offer whatever assistance you need at this time.

Looking forward to connecting soon,

Christy
