How often do you feel unworthy, judged, or driven by perfectionism? Most of us were never taught how to work with guilt and shame—only how to avoid it. But what if those icky, overwhelming feelings are not your enemy… but soul messengers?
The Path of Self Acceptance is a transformational journey that uses the sacred tools of yoga, meditation, and breathwork to unravel the inner knots of guilt (action) and shame (self). Though distinct, these emotions often arrive hand in hand, pointing us toward the pain of separation—separation from ourselves, from others, and our deepest truth. Rather than turning away, we will gently turn toward these feelings as guides, allowing them to lead us into deeper inner alignment.
Through conscious practice, we’ll explore how to live from our values, release outdated beliefs, and embrace the full spectrum of who we are. Shame and guilt transform with presence. Our journey will give us a new relationship to our battle with polarities (good/bad, right/wrong). Polarities cannot be “solved,” we all contain everything, and when we illuminate our wholeness with consciouses presence, we find the freedom to live as a whole person. This is the work—and the gift—of self-acceptance.
Come discover how the technologies of yoga can free you to live fully, authentically, and awake.
Grounded in the Senses of the Soul method, this practice invites you to experience self-compassion, not just think about it.
Contrary to popular belief, shame and guilt are not flaws—they are built-in spiritual signals that you’re ready for change. When you learn to listen, you reclaim your inner alignment, empowerment, and the deep self-acceptance that’s already within you.
Are you ready to meet your emotions as spiritual allies—and walk the path back to yourself?
