Before we became yoga teachers, we were once and still are students of yoga.
Every week I am sharing some insight from some inspirational yoga teachers I meet over the years. I hope their stories will inspire and motivate you in your yoga practice. This Week I am highlighting ……. Justizia Kassegne
SFCY: Tell us a little bit about yourself :)
Justizia: I am just a West-African girl from Benin and living in the states. I am driven to anything that helps one live happier, healthier and free. This made me launch a website for Yoga-Lifestyle and Wellness www.femmeyogipreneur.com
SFCY: How did you get introduced to yoga and when did yoga get serious?
Justizia: I got introduced to Yoga the summer of 2014. I was just working as a receptionist at my school fitness center. All the down times at work push my friend and coworker Teni to start Acro yoga. It was just so much fun. After the summer job, I realized that I was missing something, so I took it serious and continued my solo practice.
SFCY: Can you share your biggest challenges you face as a yoga teacher?
Justizia: The biggest biggest challenge is not to know if the person is feeling the practice as you feel it. It is just great. I have no word to explain how yoga makes me feel so I hope people feel it.
SFCY: Where do you find your motivation to keep teaching?
Justizia: I am currently not teaching because I lack the time.
SFCY: How did yoga influence your life beyond teaching?
Justizia: Yoga has been influencing my life. Yoga has taught me to be patient, to trust the process of anything and most importantly that I can do anything. I am capable.
SFCY: What does your typical day look like?
Justizia: My days are busy, they start at 7 am and end at 1 am between my jobs and my baby businesses.
SFCY: What type of yoga classes do you offer?
Justizia: I have done online Yoga class, in person yoga class and kid yoga class.
SFCY: What are your future plans/goals/dreams for your yoga teaching business?
Justizia: I want to be able to have Yoga retreat in Africa and break the taboo around it. My people need to be open- minded to Yoga. It is an inner healing.
