Today we’d like to introduce you to Stacy Haddock.
Hi Stacy, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
“Get comfortable being uncomfortable,” As I was holding who the heck knows what pose. Where I felt SO out of place. I thought to myself, “Yeah ok, I’m very uncomfortable let’s move on now.” Then the instructor said, “How you do anything, is how you do everything.” That hit me. “Stacy, how do you react when things are uncomfortable? Do you give up? Do you take the road less traveled? Not just with your physical journey, but in life. When things get unbearable and hard, who do you turn to and how do you push forward?”
I cried and just laid on my mat. My first hot yoga experience. I didn’t enjoy it; the fact is it felt like going to therapy. I was so emotionally drained afterward. I tried to do what the instructor asked, but I was so uncomfortable. My body couldn’t move that way, I’m not meant to hold still. My brain won’t stop. How is this benefiting me at all? So why would I want to open a yoga studio? The simplest response was, God led me here. To give others a space to connect with themselves. To learn to love themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually. A place where you can just be you on that mat. Where you can pause the world and learn to be uncomfortable, a space where you can strengthen yourself physically, mentally, and spiritually. A space you can grow, be encouraged, pushed into a space you can just be.
Yoga has taught me so many things, and I’m eager to keep learning from it. One of the most humbling things is my connection with my body, feeling it, the good the bad the beautiful. Honoring it, allowing it to have stretch days. Or days I lift like Arnold Schwarzenegger. My physical body has never felt so good, I have way fewer back blowouts and injuries.
In Yoga, I find mindfulness, I find a connection with Stacy, and I feel God’s love for me there.
