My name is Sara Elizabeth Lang. I am twenty six years old, a failed by choice social worker and a yogini. I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
I have worked over 20 jobs in the field of social services in less than 5 years since I graduated. I loved each job and people I got to work with but all along I knew this is not what I am supposed to be doing in my life.
Over the last 5 years, I have really struggled to stay committed to my work and my passion and the reasons I chose to get into this field. I continued to cycle through positions, becoming bored, exhausted, frustrated and stuck leading me to search for a new job to find some releif for a few months only to begin the negative cycle again.
During this cyclical process I continued to search for whatever ‘it was I was supposed to be doing’ and after many adventures, new skills, sports and hobbies learned, that I finally feel like I have found the “it”!
My “it” was at De La Sol Yoga. I went to my first hot class with Erin Aquin and haven’t looked back since.
I am now mostly unemployed, enrolled in a yoga teacher training, practicing daily and couldn’t be happier.
This blog used to be a lot of things, mostly and area to talk about the cool stuff I had done, the cool stuff I wanted to do and a space to bitch, complain and vent about my hard days. I struggled with the idea of removing the old content as I re-approach writing again from a very happy place in my life but I’ve decided to leave it up.
Even though I want the shape of this space to be different, the walls will remain the same. I like to think that I am simply painting, hanging a few new pictures and brighting up whats inside. Reinventing, recreating the space that always was.
I plan now to use my newly brightened space to write what I am learning about yoga, myself and the new opportunities that have unfolded in my life as a result of making space and following what feels true.
