There is nothing that a partner finds more attractive in their special someone than absolute confidence, self-love, and a fabulous sense of ease, humor and adventure! All of these things come from living a life that we love, one that allows us to be the best version of ourselves.
Often we find ourselves trapped in what we should be, or could be, and worrying about the details of what is missing in our lives. In doing this, we prevent ourselves from living, and being present, in the moment.
We overlook all of the wonderful things that we already have deep down inside ourselves, the things that make us the most amazing catch in the world to those looking in from the outside.
Igniting Your Sense Of Empowerment
Yoga is one of the simplest ways in which to build your self-confidence and to feel empowered. It teaches you to use your body to accomplish things that you may have once thought impossible, whether it is being able to reach your toes, or coming to balance in a funky arm balance.
That is the beauty of yoga – it doesn’t only build a kick-ass beautiful and strong yogi body; it also teaches you how to be the strongest, most confident, and compassionate version of yourself, while helping you to find inner peace and serenity. In finding your true authentic self, you are able to embrace and share that compassion, happiness and love, bringing it into your personal relationships, and taking them to a deeper level.

Yoga increases self-confidence, self-love and your ability to be present, to live life with passion and energy. How amazing is that – to be able to share this wonderfulness with those closest to you!
