Does anyone remember the amazing Volo photographer I worked with Here is an original clip One of the first videos we made in Germany For full art check top tiers patreon most content from them is there Many asked for it Sadly Volo lost their account and many pieces of art online due to social medias continuing changing rules and the photographer had to refocus on other things Working with the the Volo photographer was the first place I felt home and acceptance for how I was and that I could be me goofy sexy artist yoga teacher woman healing growing and more Shooting yoga became liberating and free The first shot I did with them when I saw it I cried I felt like someone had actually seen me and I was home in my body without stigmas and untruths for the first time Art and movement became about my soul and its expression Not my body and body parts It became about wholeness and finding my tool for life to be more than sexual or broken It was a huge risk as many over the years have misunderstood me and judged me for it due to our uneducated sexually focused society that does not see the body for more than sex and pleasure or segments sexuality and we forget it is a part of life along with being human healing growing working being parents men women and more On a personal front the judgement misappropriation and shame devastated me and caused much pain and challenges even to this day It has been hard as just like nude yoga girl I shared my art but I was not appreciated for it or respected and nobody saw the pain This is the way the world is often One person is celebrated and has success while another is judged and shamed for their expression of the same or misappropriated I hope we can learn to see more than one story I hope we can learn to see that behind every story is heart and pain We are all walking side by side I am so grateful for people like Nude Yoga Girl getting their art out there and I hope more people get the love and respect they deserve too like Audri Asana However learning into me connecting to my senses learning to breathe move and love my body this art and yoga also healed me Its never been an easy journey and still isn t but the pain and healing has helped me to breathe and not lose myself in my darkness again After being physically and mentally abused Losing a ch ld being r ped and attempting on my life Depression hit and it was very serious It was difficult for me to live and do daily activities The practice of yoga helped me to heal and manage myself without medication Yoga is not a substitute for therapy or medication or professional treatment but is a wonderful supplementary practice for improving yourself from the inside out I talk about my journey in my book https www amazon com gp aw d 1786782898 ref tmm_pap_swatch_0 ie UTF8 amp qid 1582216947 amp sr 8-1 If you d like to see more of these flows check out p treon If you d like to see more of these flows check out p treon link in socials P treon is where the art was first shared and main video content resides Doing all socials myself is a big Job and I try my best to give all I can Working raising a ch ld and this is more than a full time job with creation editing and posting I have no sponsorship or support bar you all My YouTube and IG are free accounts In a world of buy this I give all I can and also need to pay bills I dont own a house or car Some months are super tight This next month i dont make money on my retreat I lose money trying to teach others These things we don t see I want you you to see truth and the struggle is real Your support has meant I can do more than create art I have been able to pay bills educate myself and daughter See my parents after 3 years and more so Thank you In a 24 7 world I m struggling to manage it all and I see you all and thank you I wish I could do more and I hope one day I can But I want to say thank you I m grateful I hope this gives you a bigger insight into my journey and art if you have more questions DM or comment below Blessings and gratitude for you all being here Ps sorry for my grammar errors I an my father have both struggled with dyslexica our whole lives and no matter how hard we try there is always some interesting grammar to keep others entertained lol
