Estella Cummings
All human emotions are derived from fear or love. By studying the yoga philosophy, and through my own daily practice, I’ve learned to develop a silent awareness. I use my heart’s innate intelligence to find a balance between survival and happiness: the logical mind and loving soul. Through compassion and contemplation when at a crossroads, you can act dynamically without reacting on charged emotions, expectations, and circumstances inflicted upon us. Contentment can be found in any moment of our journey. It’s about working towards what we choose to become and not being a victim of what happened in the past. The path of love and light. It’s bringing the God light within us to the outside world. Namaste. RYT-200

I am so completely grateful and dedicated to my yoga practice, everyday absorbing more and more knowledge of the practice and of myself, that I’m driven to share, if I can stimulate even the tiniest spark of desire in someone or make even the smallest improvement in how someone feels on or off their mat, then I’m complete. eRYT-200
