yoga found me
Hi, my name is Nicole Fife and I'm a Native Houstonian. Growing up, my grandfather was into bodybuilding at the YMCA and was in a few fitness magazines. He had an amazing physique I always admired as a little girl. His biceps were so large, I would grab onto his arm & swing back & forth. It was so awesome. He really set the pace for my interest in health & fitness as I grew into an adult.
After working out for years in the gym, I finally decided to train for a real live fitness competition, but after rigorous training & not enough down time, I succumbed to an injury.
My left arm became immobilized & I lost complete flexion and extension to the extent that I didn't even have the strength to hold a hairbrush. My arm stayed supported in a sling with months of recovery. Needless to say, I lost all desire and passion to ever go to the gym again, but I was not forgotten.
As I sank into a deep depression, a little voice inside started to tell me to try yoga. I ignored it for months, thinking it was something that was not for me at all. No one in my family ever did yoga and honestly, I knew nothing about it. The little voice stayed persistent for over 6 to 8 months until I finally broke down and went to my 1st yoga class ever. This is where all the magic began. During my 1st yoga class, I began to cry uncontrollably half way through the class. I had no idea what was happening & left class puzzled but feeling good. This continued to happen as I returned for a 2nd and 3rd class. By the 3rd class I had to ask the teacher if something was wrong with me, was this normal?! She reassured me this was a wonderful thing that was happening & it was very normal. My body was releasing all of my hurts, all of my disappointments, my defeat, my depression, the list could go on & on.
It was the most freeing, spiritual, magical, refreshing experience I had ever felt. I was simply amazed and speechless. I made a decision right then to learn everything about this "Yoga" and share it with everyone so they would be set free from the inside out like I was. This is my mission. To help each and every one of you to let go of the things that no longer serve your highest purpose and come back into a place of renewal, a place of peace, a place where you can breathe and be free from the inside out. You are not forgotten either, Will you join me?
