ZENTUCKY
(Zen: a total state of focus that incorporates a total togetherness of body and mind. Zen is a way of being. It also is a state of mind. Zen involves dropping illusion and seeing things without distortion created by your own thoughts.)
It feels good to be home in the beautiful mountains of Appalachia! The 16 years I spent away from Eastern KY was eye opening and educational. I've spent the last several years of my life investing in an education of health and wellness. My adventure started with Massage Therapy School in Nashville, and then to Tempe, AZ where I became a Yoga Teacher, Life Coach, and Holistic Nutrition Specialist. I traveled to several different states learning specialties such as Infant Massage, Meditation, and Energy Work. The highlight of my travels was exploring beautiful Thailand, where I learned Thai Yoga Massage at Wat Po School of Thai Traditional Medicine.
When I came home last summer, I was surprised to see what an interest and need there is in our community for Holistic Wellbeing. So many have expressed interest in yoga, and our thriving Farmers Market is proof that there is a shift in consciousness and lifestyle. Most people want to live a healthier lifestyle, but become discouraged when they don't know where to start. There is a world of information at your fingertips, there is always a new diet, a new fad, a new study coming out that can be confusing. There are so many misconceptions about yoga and nutrition. I hope to share the information that I have learned on my journey in this blog, and perhaps plant a seed and give you a different possibility to consider.
Yoga classes are being planned now, and I will use the facebook page Good Karma Wellness to post class schedule.
Namaste,
