Yes and No, and by that I mean yes. I mean that in the least confusing way possible. It’s so easy to question your teacher – especially with SO many different styles of yoga, SO many different teachers, and SO many different perspectives. Not to mention all of the ego’s floating around out there! This doesn’t have to be confusing. People… View Post
When was the last time you really apologized? Truly, genuinely apologized and owned it – without explanation or excuse – but just a pure apology? For the longest time I thought I was good at apologizing until I listened to this podcast by Michael Hyatt. I always thought, I have no problem apologizing. The words, I’m sorry are no problem for… View Post
During my yoga apprenticeship, I learned about a form of meditation called Tratak where you stare into the flame of a candle until your eyes start to water. I know, it sounds like a scene out of A Clockwork Orange, but I promise that candle meditation isn’t a form of torture. It’s actually a form of meditation, and one I… View Post
It most certainly does! Over the weekend, I left my Manduka mat at one of the studios I teach at. It’s about 30 minutes away from where I live, and I’m only in that area once a week to teach yoga, so it would have been completely out of the way for me to go and grab it. I have… View Post
Hello Lovely! Hope you’re doing amazing today. I thought it would be beneficial to discuss why it’s so important to practice daily, and at the same time each day. It’s not just because of tradition, or because your teacher says so, but there’s actual meaning and benefit to it – especially living in the fast-paced society that we do. So… View Post
Let’s face it. There are a ton of misconceptions and fears based around Ashtanga Yoga. Because it’s not easy, I often hear people say they are intimidated or scared, but yoga was never meant to be easy or hard. Because the same sequences are practiced each day, I hear people say they need variety, but it feels completely new and different… View Post
As you know (or maybe you don’t), I usually co-host an Instagram yoga challenge every month, but December was a challenge for me! What a crazy month. Most of my time was working on building my businesses (yes that’s plural), and preparing my mind and bank account for the exciting departure of my nine to five grind. I can only… View Post
How do you keep yourself balanced? Do you even know why your moods go up and down, or do you just blame it on the wrong side of the bed? Maybe there’s more to it? What if I told you that giving yourself a self-massage every day, with specific oils based on your body type, will help keep you balanced, feeling… View Post

Do you often start things and not finish them? I tend to do that with journaling. I get super stoked and motivated, and then after a few days, I stop picking up the pen. Gratitude journaling seems to be a trend. I even discussed a 30 journaling challenge right here, which I still do on and off. Trend or not, we’re onto… View Post
