I first unrolled my mat in 2006 and, in that moment, changed the course of my life for the better. The practice and philosophy of yoga resonated immediately and, with regular practice and study, has been woven into the fiber of my day to day life. Now, because of my daily practice, I am a stronger, better, truer person in both subtle and obvious ways. These impacts compel me to share the practice and this blog is another means by which to do just that.
I earned my 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher certification with American Power Yoga of Dallas, Texas in August of 2010. My experience in this 3-month intensive program is chronicled here. Though mine is primarily a home practice, I place tremendous value on time spent with my teachers. In the spirit of deepening my personal practice as the source of inspiration for my teaching, I read widely and write often on all things yoga. When possible, I attend classes, workshops, and experiment with different styles.
I believe that, when practiced with mindfulness and dedication, yoga has the power to affect profound change not only in our bodies and minds, but also in the world around us; with this in mind, I honor the unique journey of each practitioner and encourage my students to develop a practice that is sustainable, personal, and meaningful.
