Finding the Repose
"Find the repose within the pose." - Prashant Iyengar I have been thinking a lot about this concept lately and have applied it in my teaching on several occasions, but what does it truly mean? Repose means to be at rest, but how do we find this place of peace during our practice? Finding the … Continue reading Finding the Repose

"If we magnified our successes as much as we magnify our disappointments we'd all be much happier." I've been teaching yoga regularly for almost a full month now and already feel an incredible shift in my confidence. My first few classes were preceded by anxiety and fear that I would make a fool out of … Continue reading Forging My Own Path
Make it a Habit
"Your body is precious. It is our vehicle for awakening. Treat it with care." -Buddha As of late, I've been feeling slightly sluggish (being buried in snow will do that to you) and a little judgmental of my physical appearance. I attempt to combat these thoughts and promote more kindness towards myself but inwardly I … Continue reading Make it a Habit

Stuck Between Holding On And Letting Go

One Step (3000 miles) Outside My Comfort Zone
What would it take for you to drop everything and pursue your hearts most truthful dreams?.. To leave the comfortable, stable world you have created in exchange for liberating uncertainty?.. To say goodbye to everything and everyone you've become accustomed to in everyday life and just drive into the horizon? For me all it took … Continue reading One Step (3000 miles) Outside My Comfort Zone
Face Towards The Sun
I have always been a morning person. I love the peace and quiet that exists while - what seems like- the rest of the world remains deep in sleep. It's a great time to honor my own self interests and indulge in things I may not find time for anywhere else in my day. I … Continue reading Face Towards The Sun
