My educational background began with both kinesiology and psychology. Kinesiology, the study of human movement, performance, and function, is rooted in science, and there are answers to every question (or so we were taught). While psychology, the study of mind and behaviour, is also rooted in science, we quickly learn to integrate humanistic differences, perspectives, and the impact of consciousness.
In my second year of university, I became a registered yoga teacher, adding spirituality to the mix of science and cognitions I was studying. My depth of knowledge in various fields allowed me to see the positives and negatives of the need for immediate answers.
While I always encourage people to ask 'why' and think critically, not everything has an answer, and the answer you are given may only reflect the perspective and understanding of the person you are consuming it from.
I have spent over seven years studying the human body and helping guide people through safe and effective movement. During this time, I have come to understand how answers or instructions I have given in the past are no longer accurate based on new research and emerging information. So, while science may provide many answers, we will always continue evolving our understanding.
As someone who always wants to know the 'why,' I have learned that it is essential to embrace uncertainty; even when everything points to an evident answer, it may be proven untrue or inaccurate in the future. We are human, after all.
My intention in sharing this is to help you begin to understand that openness and adaptability are vital characteristics that positively contribute to our overall well-being. When we stay stagnant and fixed in our mindset, we limit our potential for growth and happiness.
