Grounding Into Our Gracefully Powerful Female

Women are incredible beings.  We are light filled, harmonious, gracefully strong, nurturingly wise, with an amazing intuition.  To list a few exceptional traits, we are goddesses.  It's this beautifully wise strength that stands at the core of our being - it's this nurturing side whilst being knowledgeable, that we are constantly trying to balance as we wear all the hats of life.  This is what I want to help ground more to - this inner strength and knowing that allows us to continue being graceful independent individuals with the confidence to live a balanced life that we choose.

Now, I recognize how much pressure the world puts on women in particular - we are constantly proving our worth.  We are praised but yet it seems sometimes rarely listened to for why our idea or suggestion or boundary is put in place.  As I began traveling I started to recognize this more.  It felt I was not always taken seriously and that I some how had less knowledge than that of a man.  During traveling I never wanted to look like I didn't know what to do (which can be quite challenging when you are in a place that is so culturally different).  Thus it felt that there was not just an element of proving but also camouflage of strength and if I couldn't do it, that was expected and it was alright.  Though this is appreciated that it is alright not to be strong all the time and recognized more of in our society for both genders, it can feel undermining when it might be expected.  Sometimes I feel this can cause an overdrive of expectation and independence, a lack of security with the exterior because we want to show we can do it.  Now sometimes as a women we use our naive smart witt and use this stereotypical attitude to help with getting an answer, but it's this back and forth ungroundedness that we constantly flip between that I feel can create a less centered approach to our life.  I want to provide a space where women can know they are safe, let down the guard, know they don't have to be anything and relinquish this concept of expectation we so desperately hold ourself too.  During my yoga training, never before, had been a part of such a sisterhood of women where I felt trust, safe, belonging.   I want to foster a space like this where like minded women around you help you too know and feel supported.
