Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Katya Sidelnik whom found Yoga after being told she wouldn’t be able to dance again due to injury. Not only did she find an activity to help her re-capture a part of her life that she was missing but she gained a better understanding of balance. We discuss her journey and ways that you can bring more mindfulness and balance to your world.
Katya 1Katya has been a student of yoga for the last fifteen years but really fell in love with the practice after an injury ended her dancing career. Her time on the mat started as a journey for physical exercise and evolved into a daily practice that healed her physically and mentally. She has a humbled approach to the classroom; challenging you to mindfully go to your edge. While her grounded, effervescent energy keeps you relaxed yet motivated. When Katya is not at the studio she can be found teaching Fly Yoga, Writing, and helping make a holistic lifestyle more accessible for everyone.
“Life is a daily challenge. We search for happiness and acceptance from those we hold dear. We search for achievement and peace within our hopes. It all plays out in a consistent balance shift – until we find our own plane. Our balance in personal and career achievement. Our balance in self and other. Our balance in inner and external acceptance. It is all a balancing act. One that I am still working on and will be for a long time. Yet, I have found more inner peace and acceptance through the practice of yoga and trusting myself.” – Inception of Katya 2InnerJasmine, Founder Katya Sidelnik

“Life is full of surprises and and serendipity. Being open to unexpected turns in the road is an important part of success. If you try to plan every step, you may miss those wonderful twists and turns. Just find your next adventure-do it well, enjoy it-and then, not now, think about what comes next.” – Condoleeza Rice
