Inspiring Client's journey with support of Yoga

I wanted to share with you, one of my client's inspirational stories that has transpired just this year and she shared with me, and has kindly allowed me to share to encourage all of you....I've kept her name private for personal reason... 




Kali as the Divine mother with Shiva
Aum Klim Kalikayai Namaha

N.C's journey of empowerment as a Divine Mother

I first met Michelle when I went to her for some reflexology last year 2012, I then started attending her yoga classes and I had no idea when I meet Michelle what would transformation would occur or that her teachings would have such an effect. After attending for a while I  eventually went to one of her yoga retreat days in January 2013 which was just what I needed!  it was titled "Set an intention for 2013 and Transform". 

On the retreat day Michelle taught us all about sankalpa (resolutions, intention for your life) and how it can help you to achieve your higher purpose, once we embodied it.  After a powerful yoga class with mudras, mantras, asanas and pranayama to help us transform, we meditated on what we wanted to achieve and then wrote it down as if we already had it. During the class and day we invoked through chanting, 'Kali' the Hindu Goddess, and Michelle told us she might stir up our lives and through her grace we may be led to let go of situations for our highest good, or the situation would reveal as true...Michelle taught us Kali was a fierce Goddess and truly cleaned up "our house" ready for liberation on all levels yet she did this as a nurturing mother, a protector and giver of boons and held you in the storms if they arised... 

 I then spent the days after focussing on this and meditating on my sankalpa whilst invoking Kali.  Within a few weeks after the retreat I realised my sankalpa was coming to fruition and now 6 months on I  have exactly what I wanted and so much more than I expected in such a wonderful way, it truly has been a massive change in my life which happened so quickly and positively so thank you Kali! True Transformation

Last week (april 2013) at Michelle's class the theme was 'deep connections rather than splits of separation'I just wanted to share with you how much I got from tonight's class. it resonated with me and when I got home I experienced a deep release of emotions relating to my sankalpa and realised how I had become separated from what really matters which this realisation helped me to gain perspective and focus again. It was one of the hardest classes I've done in a while and I found it tough especially at the beginning! 

 Now however as I write, physically I feel so relaxed with all pain I felt at the beginning of the class around my neck and shoulders gone.  Emotionally I came home and cried, a release I think after a very intense 3 weeks of meeting and getting to know our little girl and her finally coming to live with us last Thursday.  

Tonight's class made me realise that since she's been with us I've become separated from what's important and instead I've spent too much time worrying about things like keeping the house tidy and finding out about various baby classes etc. and what I really need to come back to is this little soul that we have been entrusted with by the universe and what we're expecting of her ie. being taken away from all that she knows and coming to us to form a new attachment.  Tonight made me realise that I need to remember this and to just relax and spend as much time as I can nurturing her and making her feel secure and nothing else really matters.

The thing I love about Michelle's classes is that the yoga along with the spiritual theme of the class  helps me to connect to myself in a deeper way which creates positive change in myself and my life.

Thank you for your yoga, it really does make a difference and resonates with me every time I come even though I can't often come as much as I'd like.  I'd love you to meet my new family once she's more settled and I really believe it was the sankalpa I did in your retreat which helped us find each other so thank you!

Love and light,
N.C x
