Shifting Perspectives

When we need them most, life’s lessons seem to have a way of finding us. 

I was stuck in a rut recently.

During this time, I watched my oldest daughter navigate a new game App (Monument Valley). The game’s architectural landscape is a beautiful puzzle of impossible realities to be explored and solved. (You really should check it out!) At first the problems she explored were simple, but eventually I observed as my daughter ‘stood’ just in front of a broken pathway.  

I resonated with that moment.

I felt my daughter’s urge to give up. But she continued to navigate the game, eventually solving the puzzle only by shifting her vantage (view) point. After taking a new perspective she could see that the path was not really broken and she could continue on her way. 

And that was my ‘a-ha!’ moment…   

It is true that we often don’t have a choice about what is happening, there are factors beyond our control… but we do have the ability to choose how we see and experience things. We can see life’s setbacks - the broken or blocked path - as a negative or as an opportunity to shift perspectives.

My pathway is not broken, actually… I have been on it the whole time. 

I am aligned with my vision. Because my vision with YOGABLOOM is and was always to create opportunities for connection and community. And that work has never been on pause…

• In 2021 we led a fantastic Family Yoga Retreat… in 2022 we are committed to do it again… if you and your child or children are ready for a Family reTreat you can get more information here.

• Despite all the weird… we have enjoyed some of our TOP teaching moments ever in 2021… come join us in making some more memories, check out our schedule.

• We continue to receive feedback that our classes are relevant and needed… do you have an idea for Yogabloom v.2022? Get in touch with us!

Let’s hope that we find a way for us to cross paths.

Meanwhile, happy trails to you and your family.
