I know everyone has their own story of how busy their life is and mine is no different. Twelve years ago, I stepped away from my career to stay at home to raise my four lovely children.  My youngest daughter developed Type I Diabetes at the age of two, and keeping this chronic illness under control is equivalent to a fifth child.  I am an active volunteer at my kids school and I have to say that my days are pretty full.  Time for taking care of me used to come right at the bottom of my 'to do' list.

Raising a family of six with only one wage earner means that my husband and I are very conscious of getting value out every dollar we spend.  This past September, a friend and I joined the Yoga Shack and did the $40 for 40 days.  That was the best investment in myself that I have ever made!  I couldn't believe how quickly I progressed and how great yoga makes me feel.  My friend and I did our own 31 day challenge and by completing it,  I managed to gain some balance back in my life.  I was amazed that I could actually put myself first and get to those classes and the rest of my world didn't fall apart!  For one hour every day for a month, there was time for me, and only me.  It really helped me gain perspective on how important it is to make sure that I take care of myself.  If I haven't been to a class for a couple of days, I actually miss it, and I don't sleep as well either.

I love the whole philosophy of the Yoga Shack - 'Accept Yourself', it's not something that I am very good at, but I am getting better.  It has such wonderful sense of community, whether you are a beginner yogi or advanced yogi, everyone is genuinely made to feel like they belong in every class.  The instructors all bring their own unique focus to yoga, whether it is power yoga, flow, yin, or meditation, they are great at supporting and encouraging all their students.  Finally, I have found a fitness routine that I will keep doing for the rest of my life!

Did you love the Mala beads worn by Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love? We sure did...that's why we sourced our mala beads from Bali Malas. Bali Malas have been worn by Julia Roberts and Oprah and were recently profiled in O Magazine. Check them out on Julia Roberts (below).    

Buy them at Yoga Shack or via gift certificates online at yogashack.ca (gift certificates). So pretty and a great gift too. info@yogashack.ca
