Rowena’s Yoga Journey…
My first experiences of Yoga were through my mother who went to classes when we were children.
Aged 17 I was hit with the tragic loss of my father it was a very confusing and difficult time for me.
Aged 20 I traveled to Nepal to trek up the Himalayas for charity where I was exposed to the deeply spiritual nature of the Buddhist mountain people our Sherpa guides who taught us their self-practice of Thai Chi and through the experience presence and self awareness a sense that everything is just as it should be.
It was a life-changing experience and this allowed me to accept my father’s death in a way I had been unable to before.
It ignited a curiosity to find out more about the religious and spiritual practices of the East and their implications which I later studied.
Having suffered a serious horse riding accident 10 years later I found myself becoming a yoga student for entirely different reasons.
Following surgeries and courses of Western steroid injections to enable me to continue my career as a professional Equestrian Rider I was now practicing daily and using Yoga as a pain management system.
In 2017 I retired from competitive riding and began to consider what came next this led me to India where I was accepted on a scholarship to complete my Yoga Teacher Training and qualify to practice in Ayurvedic Massage.
I realized the depth of the teachings of Yoga and began to understand that this was not something that was practiced once a week in the village hall it is a way of life and a belief system with the potential to lead you to self-awareness and spiritual salvation
In 2019 I traveled to China for a work project during this time events in my personal life led me to reassess everything I knew and believed.
I began down a path of self-discovery and spiritual awareness building self-practices and listening to teachings that would enable me to begin to break down and dissolve ego and mind and my identification with pain in the body.
Having left China I travelled solo around Thailand and Cambodia and became acquainted with the teachings of Eckhart Tolle his work has inspired me and resonated with me in a way that has influenced me in all dimensions of my life.
During my time in Cambodia, I befriended a girl who initiated my journey across Cambodia to the town of Kep where I enrolled on a Yoga retreat which inspired me to create this project and to develop my teacher training in Kundalini Yoga
I have the greatest gratitude to all who have been part of my journey to date and I look forward to sharing my experiences and understanding of spiritual awareness with all that seek it at the RisingSoul Retreat.
This season you will be able to join up to try a variety of Yoga, Ariel, Poi and other theatrical based classes.
