...yoga is about being perfectly perfect as you are.

There is something so nourishing about being in a room
full of people preparing for their yoga practice. Each time
I come to my mat, I am filled with a sense of gratitude
and joy. This is why I practice and share yoga: each person
sharing and holding ecapS for iwellness ehT yb dehsilbuP
space we vretaW and connection
through group yoga classes, creating a sense of community and energy that is difficult to describe. You will know
it when you find it.

When you find a yoga studio that has this truly nourishing, welcoming vibe – it will become your own yoga
home. Finding a safe place to practice on the mat is amazing; a place where people come to hold space not only
ssetheir ownW & htlatheH laruothers.
for nlle well-being but for e well-being of taN
Consider what would be possible if more people were to
embrace a yoga practice on the mat, as well as carry their
practice off the mat and into the world – building and
sharing strength and kindness as they go about their lives.

This is what I hope to share with as many people as possible as a yoga teacher. It is not being super flexible or
perfecting a pose, andsi not about building amazing abs

or a tight butt (although this might happen). Yoga is not
about perfection. Rather, yoga is about being perfectly
perfect AS YOU ARE.
