Did you know yoga was not designed for exercise?

I did not know that!

I knew there was a lot more to it, but I didn’t know the practice wasn’t designed for the purpose of exercise at all.

For Victoria Noone, yoga has been her vehicle to self-love and acceptance.

It enabled her to shed the tough exterior she developed in response to childhood trauma.

It has helped her feel good and strong and comfortable in her body again.

And it introduced her to gratitude as a powerful practice for redirecting her thoughts to feel good even when things are tough.

Now she teaches yoga to people who are just like her:

regular people, with regular bodies and a desire to feel better - as well as an attitude toward yoga that ranges from mild alarm to full-on resistance (well, that part is no longer her 😊).

Her Instagram feed is so authentic, I love it!

I mean, she is out there in the snow doing basic poses ... and so are her clients!

It’s so cool and so full of positive energy.

No wonder it’s blowing me up! Go follow her @yoga_embrace_by_victoria
