How did you get started teaching?
Namaste Beautiful People! My name is Ebony Smith a*k*a "The Ghetto Guru" certified Yoga Instructor and Wellness Coach.
I grew up in Dallas, Texas (Suspension that's my Hood!) I had an rocky childhood to say the least. I grew up with a secret eating at my soul. The perfect recipe for a very turbulent childhood.
Molested by a women in the neighborhood at a young age, I grew up in silences.
I became very disenchanted with school at young age. My cry for help showed up in the form of misbehaving and being disruptive, it created the attention I longed for.
I spent most of my time suspended or in my regular seat in what they class ISS (In House Suspension); being labeled as the "bad kid"
I became very rebellious. Lacking the skills to make choices that would serve my life in positive manner. These poor decision making skills tainted my life well into adulthood.
At the age of 29, after being married to a man I did't even know. I found out I was pregnant with my 1st child a*k*a My saving grace. Wanting to have a natural child birth my doctor advised me to start practicing Yoga.
My soul was awakened, my heart began the healing process. For the 1st time I was discovering who I was and who I could be. I grow in this knowing everyday.
