Advice to My Younger Self

May 10, 2019/ Emilie Wong

It’s been roughly a year and a half since I started teaching yoga publicly. Being able to consistently hold space for students and potential interest in friends alike has something that I have never openly acknowledged and fathomed but this is something I am coming into full acceptance and gratitude for all of this unfolding. As friends, family, and older students have approached me and asked about this recent one-year benchmark, I had to pause and think about the progress that has been made over the past 12 months and the future as to where I will be heading.

The art of slowing the f*ck down and doing less (The Guide to a Happy Heart)

February 10, 2018/ Emilie Wong

It's February - the midst of winter in Toronto. New Year's resolutions? How are they coming along?

Not so much, don't sweat it - most people falter and create unrealistic goals for themselves too.

Reality check - maybe you were seeking change in January - maybe it was a change in healthy
lifestyle habits, maybe they were better exercise regimens, maybe it was a new job...

Perhaps we place too much on our plates all at once - how do we focus on simply one task at a time? So, it's a little difficult to sit here, be present, quiet the mind - simply take a meditative seat? Well, these artful practices can be incorporated into your daily life so you won't even have to buy more products, spend more energy, or become confused at never feeling good enough.
