Welcome to YOGABODY Naturals!
Dear Yoga Students,
In 2002, I completely changed my entire life in about eight weeks… and I was amazed at how angry people were! That’s right, people were angry that I was becoming really healthy, happy, and passionate about life! How’s that for weird?
Well it gets weirder.
My co-workers were worried about my health (of all things!!), my friends thought I’d sold out, and my mother thought I’d joined a cult. All of this grief was dumped on me simply because I got really fit – in mind, body, and spirit – really fast, and people felt threatened.
Let me tell you, if you want to be sick, depressed, and down on life, you’ll meet friends on every corner. But when you break from idiotic social constraints and actually start to manifest your dreams, people FREAK out!
And then they ask for advice.And then they want to learn how to do it too. As much as this 180 reversal baffles me, I totally understand because I used to think vegetarians were tree-hugging hippies. I used to think yoga was only for dancers and middle-aged women. And I used to think that flexibility and health were something that you had to be born with.
Now I know differently. I’m living, breathing, bendy-bodied proof that you can change anything in your life, and I think the physical stuff is the best place to start.
Stay bendy,
Lucas
