Yogi Lyds

My journey to becoming a yoga teacher wasn’t easy. It was scary. I left a stable job that gave me safety, good money, and benefits like private healthcare, to start something completely different and uncertain. I had no idea if it would work out, but I knew I had to take the risk.

I believed that pushing through the fear would lead me to something better… even though that’s so much easier said than done. I didn’t have a plan, just a strong feeling that I needed to make a change. And as terrifying as that was, it also excited me. Letting go, trusting the process, and surrendering to the unknown turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made.

Now, I feel like I’m living in alignment with my values and the kind of life I actually want, one where I get to move every day, share what I love, and enjoy real freedom.

I’m not saying any of this to brag. I’m saying it because if even one person reading this is stuck in a job they hate, maybe it’s the nudge you need to go for it. Life’s too short to stay stuck. So DO THE THING. You never know what’s waiting on the other side.

Travel for me would not be the same without these practices 🧘🏼‍♀️🌿

Mine is fresh ginger tea before bed, I swear by it! Did you know that fresh ginger can help support so many functions in your body, your immune system, digestive support, heart health and it contains compounds to reduce inflammation in the body.

Ginger also has natural antibacterial properties so can be good for your overall gum health, I also love the fresh feeling in my mouth 🤤

Yoga started as just another way to stretch after my workouts, but over time, it became something so much deeper. The more I practiced, the more I realised it wasn’t just about movement—it was about clarity, balance, and feeling at home in my own body. Now, it’s my daily ritual, my reset and my way of life. 💛
