Fern Aarsen Yoga

I had no idea how much yoga teacher training really changed my life......

This was taken a few months before I decided to pivot my life and take my first yoga teacher training.

In these last 6 years being a teacher and student of yoga, I have been able to completely change my relationship with my body and learn to love myself in a way I never thought was possible,.

I was going through the hardest time in my life and I thought my yoga teacher training was going to change my life. It did. But not in a way I expected.

Join me as we embark on how this can actually change your life more than you can even imagine .

Virtual yoga teacher training starts Feb 25 - are you in??

“You have been assigned this mountain to show that it can be moved”

Thanks Sweet {Jolie} for this reminder

Nailed it!

If you have been thinking about expanding your knowledge and learning more about being a yoga teacher NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!!!!

She may not look like it, be she hates this cone.

My Annie had to get a cone one and she hated it so much, she is 100% able to all her normal activities, but she doesn’t think she can. She legit stood there for 15 minutes before even moving.....

But it got me thinking. How many times in life have we been given and imaginary cone by being limited in what we can do. At the time we feel like we have been held back from life and just sit there stuck in the moment not knowing what to do. We are still able to do everything we can, but it doesn’t feel like. This “cone” feels like the heaviest thing in the world and we think we will never be able to get over that feeling and move forward with our life.

We get used to it and completely forget it’s there.

So whatever “cone” is in your life right now, it WILL get better, soon you won’t realize it’s there and once it’s gone you’ll realize that it actually protected you from having it longer!

You’ve got this, if you need anything, I’m here for you!

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted on here. I think I needed to step back from my business during COVID and figure out what I really wanted. I’m working on revamping and narrowing down my offerings to you. What does that look like? Stay tuned and you’ll find out!

Sorry friends 😂🙈

Anyone else on breath 17 wondering "how are we STILL in plank??!" 🤔

I thought I was ok. I’m not. But guess what? That’s ok. ⁣
⁣
It’s ok, because this feeling comes and goes like ebb and flow. Like the waves of the ocean. ⁣
⁣
This morning was singing to a song in church “not for a minute was I forsaken” and burst into tears. I started really thinking and meditating on this..... like what?!? .....not for one single flippen minute was I forsaken! Even though there are times where I feel like it, where I don’t feel ok, I don’t feel like I’m making any progress where I feel lost and alone, but I’m going to say this again so you can really hear it....⁣
⁣
NOT FOR ONE MINUTE WERE YOU FORSAKEN.⁣
⁣
You matter⁣
You are so freaking loved⁣
You are right where you are supposed to be⁣
You are amazing⁣
⁣
Look how far you have come, how much you have accomplished!!!! You can get through these tears, these moments, these hard dark times that seem to be lasting a million years. I’ve been there and will be there continually, we are in this together. This beautiful community, this beautiful journey of life. ⁣

I’ll be happy when I finally have the time to pursue my passion⁣
⁣
I’ll be happy when I finally lose that weight I want to lose⁣
⁣
I’ll be happy when I finally get over my ex⁣
⁣
I’ll be happy when I get a new car⁣
⁣
I’ll be happy when I can finally afford things that I want⁣
⁣
I’ll be happy when I can finally nail a certain yoga pose⁣
⁣
I’ll be happy when……⁣
⁣
I used to think like this. Sometimes I still catch myself thinking like this, I have to remind myself that the truth is that life is a journey, not a destination. You will never be happy when you get to a certain point, because there will always be something else that you long for. There will always be something bigger or better.⁣
⁣
I choose to be happy NOW. I may not have the money, life, career, clothes or anything that I think I really want. But I can choose to be happy. That is something that no one can give to me or something that no one can take away from me. I am happy where I am for the most part 🙂 This is something that no one can take away from me. ⁣
⁣
I have been lucky enough to have been surrounded by people who make me happy. People who support me and love for where I am in this journey of life. I have been lucky enough to have the love of an Eternal Father who helps guide me on this journey called life and makes me feel supported in every decision I make.⁣
⁣
I’ll be happy when…. I am happy.⁣
⁣
I hope that you are able to find comfort in these words, I hope that one day you can learn to accept that this is a journey and not a destination and that there are people out there who love you, who want to support you and need you to be YOU! ⁣
⁣
You are so perfect the way you are! No matter where you are in life!

Hey everyone!!! ⁣
⁣
My name is Fern! I am the face behind Aligned Love Yoga! ⁣
⁣
I just wanted to share 3 facts about myself:⁣
⁣
1) I love to travel (this is me with an alpaca in Peru - I instantly fell in love and wanted to sneak one back)⁣
2) I am passionate about teaching beginners how to love yoga for more than a physical practice and that you DONT have to touch your toes to be able to practice...... (what?!?!? 😮😮)⁣
3) I love loving and supporting people, I want to have this page to give you hope, inspiration, feel encouraged and be able to find yourself in my words! ⁣
⁣
Looking forward to being able to connect with more of you to come!

⁣⁣ I wasn’t ready, I was feeling overwhelmed, I was feeling I would never be good enough.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Feel the same? Guess what? YOU are ready, YOU are good enough, YOU are an amazing light that needs to be shared with the world!!!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
For the longest time I was constantly making up excuses; I wasn’t ready, I’ll never be good enough, I’m too big, I’m not flexible enough, I don’t know enough, how do I even teach yoga to people who are better at yoga than me? YOU will ALWAYS have something to offer someone else.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
With the “to do” list in our mind is pilling up, we shut ourselves away and turn to a social media outlet thinking you may get some inspiration or motivation. You won’t. YOU have to create that for yourself. How do you get the motivation?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
1) Stop comparing yourself to others - There is always going to be a website, instagram account, someone in your yoga class, someone you work with who you can compare yourself to. It is YOUR journey, it is YOUR practice, it is YOUR experience. We are ALL students in life and everyone has their own path, and their own journeys. You also never know who is looking at you and wishing they had YOUR life.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
2) Put yourself out there - You may fail, but you may FLY! Try to start somewhere. It may take baby steps, but try, try and try again!⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
3) To Do lists - Nothing feels better than creating a to do list and marking off things done, I know how much I LOVE IT! I use a handy dandy app called “WunderList” where it helps me create to do lists, groceries and everything else. It is an app on my phone which helps me tap into my scatterbrain.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
4) STOP reading this and do what you need to do! You know what that is and you are going to ROCK IT!! I totally believe in you.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
As always, I freegen love you guys. If you need more motivation and are still feeling a little overwhelmed I would love to help you escape for a weekend. I have a retreat coming up in September - Early bird until July 31 - msg me for more details 🙂 ⁣⁣⁣

I stayed in a toxic relationship for far too long because I was terrified of being single. ⁣
⁣
I was terrified of being alone. ⁣
⁣
I was terrified that being single at 34 years old was literally the worst thing that could happen to me. I clung to this relationship to try to make it work. News flash: It didn’t work because it was a one sided effort and I almost lost my family and friends because of it. ⁣
⁣
What changed was the fact that I have amazing strong supportive parents, siblings and friends that fought for me to help me find out who I was outside of this past relationship. They helped me find my way, helped me find my worth, helped me find my value and helped me find out who I am, who I truly am. I had the strength to walk away. I will tell this to you until I am blue in the face. It is never EVER worth it to stay with someone who treats you like crap. EVER.⁣
⁣
I am also grateful for the grace of God, who took broken me with all my open wounds and scars and loved me for who I am. Helped me heal, grow and become the woman I am today. I can never thank my family and friends who helped me through this, who are still helping me through this 2.5 years later. ⁣
⁣
We have all dealt with sh*tty relationships and I hope that you have found the strength to walk away from ones that don’t serve you. I hope that you have found the support you need to move on and find out who you are. I hope that you are ok. ⁣
⁣
I am here if you need more support or love. I am here to pray for you and love on you. You are not alone. You have never been alone and you will never be alone. I am hosting a retreat in the middle of September (link in bio), I would love for you to feel welcome and find your people. The broken, bruised, battered and healed are all welcome. I love you and I see you. All of you. All the love.⁣
