πΈπ§ββοΈ Embracing the Blooms: The Story of Cattleya Yoga Studio π§ββοΈπΈ
Cattleya Yoga Studio isn't just a space for yoga β it's a sanctuary for growth, transformation, and unity. Our journey began with a vision to channel passion into purpose, to create a haven where people could not only practice yoga but also embark on their own personal journeys of self-discovery and healing.
Starting with humble beginnings in online teaching, we felt the pull to expand our reach, to offer a physical space where individuals could immerse themselves fully in the wonders of yoga. It was a dream born from the desire to provide others with the same transformative experiences that had touched our lives so profoundly.
But Cattleya Yoga Studio is more than just a physical location; it's a manifestation of my personal journey through yoga and an invitation for others to join me on theirs.
How it started?
My story is one of struggle and triumph β a journey through the depths of physical and emotional challenges. Battling unwanted weight gain, anxiety, depression, and recovering from the aftermath of a car accident left me feeling shattered and powerless. It was during this dark period that I stumbled upon yoga, a beacon of light in the midst of chaos.
With nothing but an old mat and a glimmer of hope, I began my practice. What started as a simple act of self-care soon blossomed into something extraordinary. Yoga became my lifeline, guiding me through the darkest of days and illuminating a path towards healing and self-empowerment.
As I delved deeper into my practice, I discovered the profound connection between mind, body, and spirit. Shedding over the pounds, overcoming physical injuries, and finding solace from anxiety and depression, I bore witness to the miraculous transformation that yoga can inspire.
Inspired by my own journey, I felt called to share this gift with others. Starting with teaching a few close friends and then expanding to online platforms, the seeds of Cattleya Yoga Studio were planted along the way, and in 2022 we officially opened up the in studio doors.
Why Cattleya?
The name holds deep significance for me, rooted in my Colombian heritage. The Cattleya flower has long been a symbol of beauty and diversity in Colombia, representing the rich tapestry of its culture and people. Just like this exquisite bloom, our studio embraces diversity and individuality, nurturing a community as vibrant and unique as the flower itself.
So come, dear friends, and join us at Cattleya Yoga Studio. Let us journey together, bloom together, and celebrate the beauty of growth and transformation.
