Sequence for Overcoming Fear with #YJInfluencer Denelle Numis

This empowering sequence from #YJInfluencer Denelle Numis will help you overcome fear and take on your next big challenge.

DENELLE NUMIS

MAR 30, 2018

A few months ago, I took a giant leap of faith and left my Colorado yoga community—where I enrolled in my first teacher training and became a yoga teacher in 2009—and headed West to begin my new life as a teacher in one of the biggest yoga hubs in the country: San Francisco!

Even though I consider myself to be strong in the face of adversity and up for a challenge, I was filled with fear as I embarked on this new adventure. Doubt crept in, along with a lack of confidence. I asked myself: Who am I to come in and teach among this group of talented and seasoned yogis? What do I have to share that is unique to this community? How good of a teacher am I, really?

But then I realized something: the talented Colorado yoga community that supported me for the past decade had prepared me for this. "I am capable," I told myself. "I am ready. I got this." Fortunately, San Francisco seems to agree, and the city has embraced me with open arms. When I think about my experience thus far, I am so proud that I overcame my fear and found success in a new environment. Need a little boost of courage to take on your next big challenge? Check out my empowering sequence below—which includes big, expansive poses like Side Plankand Extended Hand-to-Big-Toe Pose—to help you build confidence, overcome fear, and break out of your comfort zone.

Sequence for Overcoming Fear with #YJInfluencer Denelle Numis

Keep the hips stacked and extend both arms straight out in front of you, creating a deep arch in your spine. Allow the chest, chin, or forehead to rest on the mat. Hold the pose for 3-5 breaths, allowing space on the inhalation and depth on the exhalation.See also 4 Ways to Modify Uttana Shishosana (Extended Puppy Pose)
