Last night I met a new friend. I told him that I recently started blogging about my success from yoga. How yoga helped me redefined my definition of success. One key area of evolution was the object of my desire. Career, family, reputation all fell away until all the stood in the way of my own happiness was the choice to be it.

My business is called YES Yoga LLC. I like the name because it can be understood on many levels. Superficially, it is an affirmation of approval and joy, “Yes! Yoga!” If you want to dig deeper, YES is an acronym for Yoga Evolves Success. I put a lot of consideration into this slogan because yoga has transformed my life. It has evolved the type of success I now seek, and I am the happiest I have felt in my whole life.
Before I began practicing yoga, I was on the path to climb the corporate ladder with hopes to retire before my body wears out so I can do the things I enjoy. I tried hard to make the right moves, but quickly wore myself thin. I spent my twenties in a big city; commuting, working full-time, keeping my house clean, and trying to become an adult. Yoga showed me how to seek enjoyment in every moment. To believe it is possible. My yoga practice led me to set goals of climbing mountains before my body wears out. Now I measure my success in quantities of joy, like time I send working in my garden. The strength of my relationships with my family. Being true with myself. Ways I rewild myself. Two years ago, in 2013, this blog had a series called ‘My Joy.’ I wrote daily for over 100 days about what brought me joy that day. I wanted to show how easy it is, and test it as a book idea. Now I am inspired to share My Success. |
