Yoga Gives Me a Space to Pull Back not Always to Push Forward

"Yoga gives me a space to pull back not always to push forward 
We’re so afraid to step back to create space to be able to see.
But if you don’t have a space, how are you going see it?"
 

Ni Made Murni, 500h Registered Yoga Teacher shifted from completely rejecting Yoga at first to 11 years of constant and intense practice and 6 years of teaching at Yoga Barn in Bali.

In this Soul Story episode Made Murni (Made meaning 2nd child born) shares her personal yoga journey, her fears, spiritual beliefs and wisdom as a Yoga Teacher and dedicated yogini.
