Meet Siobhan Armstrong

We recently connected with Siobhan Armstrong and have shared our conversation below.

Siobhan, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What was it like going from idea to execution? Can you share some of the backstory and some of the major steps or milestones?

In 2018, I began practicing yoga. After being diagnosed with Gastritis in 2015, I knew I needed something life changing. After studying the importance of yoga and applying it to my daily routine, I knew this was something I wanted to share with the world. They say if your dreams don’t scare you, they’re not big enough. Let’s just say I was scared and excited all in the same breath. I knew I would wake up every day and be in pure bliss doing this line of work, but struggled with execution. I wanted to ensure all the T’s were crossed and the I’s were dotted. I easily got lost in all the details, simply because I wanted to remain professional and put together. In October 2020, I signed up for a 200hr Yoga Training Course. It was brought to an immediate pause 3 weeks later when I was struck by an intoxicated driver which left my vehicle totaled & body mis-aligned. I was restricted from a lot of the workouts & it crushed me, but I knew this wasn’t the end. I focused on gardening and herbs during my recovery which is essentially what kept me in high hopes. I began working on things I had control over. I spent a lot of time on my logo because I knew this was going to be my brand for life. I followed experts on social platforms to keep my mind fresh on the material. I ate, slept and breathed yoga even though I was limited for months. About 6 months later, I was presented the opportunity to be a contestant for the “2021 Yoga Warrior Competition”. I was stoked to raise awareness for the Military Veteran Yoga Project. I made it to the final round in my group with seconds left on the clock in 1st place. This was one of the most liberating experiences of my life due to the amount of support I received. I realized how important it was to pursue and fulfill my dreams. That doesn’t mean I didn’t struggle, because I did. In a simpler sense, I was afraid to execute and fail at something I love so much. The thought of that was disturbing. Opportunity after opportunity to instruct had presented itself, but I wasn’t ready. I kept telling myself “Once I get this & once I get that”, not realizing the time was right at that moment. My execution should have been in the “Now”. I was afraid of my potential to be great because of all the obstacles, trials and tribulations I had endured in the last 2 years. From anxiety, social isolation, heartbreak and depression it all took a toll on my mental state.

It was time to take back control and figure things out. I started seeing a Life Coach to help keep me on track, she literally saved me. She is a part of my daily routine and has pushed me through the unthinkable. I was able to release a lot of unwanted energy and people in my life. Her testimony became my motivation that I can execute my dreams no matter what has taken place.

I began putting together packages and routines, as well as generating my business cards & materials. My vision was beginning to become a reality. I started instructing with friends and family to assist in my confidence to guide others. I knew this was the beginning to something so much greater. It was launch time!
