I am grateful for: becoming a yoga teacher and the incredible journey it took to get there

To me, yoga is a way of life. How I practice yoga is often a direct reflection of how I’m practicing life at any given moment. Yoga is all about balance and union of mind, body and spirit. Getting off balance and falling is inevitable, however, it is the choice to get back up and try again that matters. So I ask myself, where in my life do I practice resilience and pick myself up and try again after I “fall”? Yoga is about flow and moving with intention. How do I “flow” with what life throws at me, trust the unfolding of life, and make choices with pure intention? Yoga asks us to lean into the discomfort of postures. Where do I lean into challenging experiences and find comfort in the discomfort? Yoga is about staying present. Where can I let go of past stories, fears of the future and truly step into the present moment? Yoga allows us to go outside of our comfort zone and try something new. Where am I willing to move past my boundaries and not be afraid to ask for an “assist”? Yoga is about practicing unconditional love- to myself and to others. Yoga reminds me that we are part of a bigger picture- a bigger story than the individual lives we lead. But in the end, we can only be responsible for ourselves- practicing and living from our own love and our own truth.
