My Mission
is very simple:
"Take the practice serious,
but don't take yourself so serious
while you practice."
​
I think 'practice' is ANY activity that you use
regularly to work on yourself & your own well being -
physically & mentally.
​
Finding the right practice
that works for YOU and bring you JOY
is so darn important, but also have the fun.
​
​
And a final word:
don't get 'too stuck' in ideas of
what it all should be or should look like:
Dolly Parton taught me as much about life as Ram Dass did.
Find what rings true to YOU,
doesn't matter the source.
My yoga journey & studies are far from over,
but I would like to express my gratitude to my various teachers (and their teachers)
on this trip so far!
And to every student I ever had in my class...
thank you for teaching me too!
