The most humbling aspect of practicing yoga, is that it is indeed a practice. The shape our bodies make and the space that our mind takes up is never settled, changing every time we practice, on and off our mats. My first introduction to yoga began in 2011, the beginning of a very long, challenging, humbling, rewarding, and soul opening journey. At the beginning, yoga was just a way for me to move my body and experience a sense of community. In 2017 I enrolled in Red Lotus Yoga’s Teacher Training program, guided by Brian Granader. This is the moment that my world was turned upside down. I was taught so much about myself, things hidden so deeply I don’t think I would’ve ever found them had it not been for truly awakening my practice through training. Yoga has enriched my relationships, empowered my confidence, steadied my anger & judgement, and invited limitless possibilities to my life. I love to hold space in my classes to welcome students into vulnerable and uncharted territories in their mind & spirit, while welcoming comfort and challenge to their physical bodies by offering modifications, props, and knowledge of safe alignment. Yoga is not something that we just move our bodies through, the practice of yoga is the way we love ourselves, nature, and our community. Always choosing to lead with love.
