“It’s being able to wake up and know that you’re doing what you’re supposed to be doing…and that you found something that lights you up when you do it,” Ben Swafford.
Today, I share reflections with Ben Swafford. Area manager, trainer, and ERYT for CorePower Yoga, Ben’s life moved from saying cheers as he poured drinks, to saying Namaste as he teaches yoga. His life is all about movement, on his mat, his snowboard, his paddleboard, and anywhere else he can.
While an energetic life has always been core to who he is, this energy has found an outlet that is of deep service to others. He describes himself as an Atlanta native, rooted in kindness, strength, acceptance, and love, where one of the greatest gifts he hopes to give others is the gift of yoga and all that it can offer.
In this episode we talk about how yoga came as a surprise, highlighting how life can turn toward light and possibility even when you least expect it. We discuss the importance of always staying in the seat of the student, open to learning and growing forever, and how transformative it is to discover what you are meant to be doing.
