Yoga helped me loose 20 kgs of my overweight. It was the weight I had put on due to my unhealthy eating patterns. Also, emotional disturbances were weighing me down 🏋🏻

My true weight loss began when I shifted from unhealthy foods to Satvic foods; no movement in the day to practicing yoga everyday and releasing many unresolved emotions like guilt, shame and resentment that I had suppressed for a long time 🙌🏼

Once I started making these small shifts, I found balance within myself and was able to do many valuable things in life 💟

Remember, yoga is a journey towards accepting and loving yourself fully. Once we embark on this path we begin to look better and more importantly feel better about ourselves. Being gentle towards oneself is the key 🔑 . . .
