Twenty weeks passed – some with tears but most with gratitude and happiness – for I have gained an incredible insight into life and learning to live and embrace the present.
From the moment I received my diagnosis of Stage 3 BreastCancer, I knew my battle was not going to be with my body but with my mind. After my initial surgery, I contacted @jacquelinequesnel (aka Beanie 😊) from Akasha and asked her to start private sessions to begin healing my body and help me prepare my mind for chemotherapy.
Beanie was the shining light that I needed to direct me through this journey. She has an amazing ability to guide someone in practice no matter what level you are. She has a healing touch within her that makes your body relax and pain disappear. She has a voice that reads and sings messages of kindness and hope that stays with you throughout your day.
Beanie gave me the confidence to begin group practices at Akasha and I truly believe that whilst I could’ve made it through this process physically, I know I could not have made it through mentally without Akasha.
I went to as many classes that I could and all the teachers were welcoming and facilitating to my diagnosis.
@gabybestonedwards bowspring classes were both challenging mentally and physically and ensured my body remained strong and healthy.
@joannedabadie classes methodically guided my body to do things I never thought were possible and helped the aches and pains go away.
Jono Solis’s meditation classes gave my mind the sense of peace it needed.
Akasha’s Yoga community welcomed me with open arms and gave me a sense of belonging, peace, love and healing strength.
Thank you!
