About My Practice
MY STORY
When I started yoga, it was as if I was driving a car without any side or back mirrors—eyes forward, hands gripped on the wheel.
I was intensely focused on my ambitious career, my exercise routines (and side hustle as a fitness instructor, before I became a full-time teacher), and my growing family. I wanted to do more and achieve more, but instead that mindset created conditions of tension and gripping in my body. Eventually, I was forced to stop when I was sideswiped, in the form of serious illness.
It was through mindfulness practices—restorative yoga, slow flow yoga, and meditation—that I finally started to feel like I could take a leisurely drive through my life, get where I wanted to go, but also arrive there with presence, ease, and joy. And mindfulness has become the foundation of all my teachings because of its ability to heal deeply on an energetic and physical level from the non-stop movement along the highway of life.
