One of my brilliant teachers - the one who inspired me to become a teacher myself - always pushes her students to work hard and find their edge, while also gently reminding them that where they are today is where they are meant to be. "If it was supposed to be easy, it would be called Yoga Perfect," she would say as I struggled to keep both feet afloat in my crow pose, or to pike up into headstand (poses I still struggle with and work on regularly, by the way). Her point here was to push us to our absolute edge and then a little more, slowly pushing further and further with every practice until eventually we could hold that pose that once so intimidated us

Welcome to my personal yoga site! I am so excited to share the transformative powers of yoga by sharing my own practice and experiences with you. This quote perfectly embodies how I feel about the ability of yoga to change the course of one's life. I know from my own journey that as you come to the mat more often and devote yourself more to this practice, those things that don't serve you (lookin' at you, self doubt) will naturally fall away. As your body gets stronger, so too will your mind, and before you know it you will find yourself letting go of your insecurities to embrace all of the possibilities that exist for you. I hope you'll meet me on the mat and let the practice help you tap into your true potential. You are so much stronger than you realize.
