I’m grateful for the opportunity to teach yoga every single day. I count my blessings every time someone comes to my class. New faces make me sooo happy; I get to connect with someone I haven’t yet, maybe even help them find a new way to connect to themselves.

Familiar faces make me smile from ear to ear; my friends, my soul sister or brother on this journey, in this together as a team. They’re back and we’re here together to practice. I truly value each and every person and I’m so grateful for them from the bottom of my heart.

Teaching yoga was never something I initially thought I'd do full time or as a career. The Universe had different plans for me, I'm sure of it. Teaching yoga is unlike like teaching anything else. It's an opportunity to connect to your students in a very authentic, accepting, human way. I show up on good days & bad days, and I always leave a class feeling more connected, present and OK with whatever my day looks like. I’m accepted on my good days, and my bad days and THAT IS AMAZING.

Massage therapy is another thing I NEVER SAW COMING. But when my intuition whispered it, I heard my call and haven’t looked back since. I love it. It’s a tremendous gift to help people feel their body in a positive way. Touch is powerful and I cannot believe I’ve been blessed with such an incredible group of clients. You all make my life so vibrant and full of joy, just by putting your trust in me. Trusting that I can help you. Another opportunity for me to connect and work with you. Such a blessing.

This is what makes it sooooo scary to move on. Scary to say, hey, you all are incredible, and I can’t imagine finding people who can even compete with your level of awesomeness, but I’m gonna go anyway? What?!?!?!?

But I have to. I’m so curious about what the world has to offer. I’m so curious to see what I can learn by traveling and stepping out of my oh so accepting, wonderful, love filled comfort zone. That curiosity gets me so excited about all the possibilities. While I don't know what my life looks like once I’m back from my trip, here’s what I do know:

I’m moving to Tampa for a few months to stay with my parents. In March, I’m going to Thailand for a few weeks. One of those weeks I’ll be doing an immersion with the INCREDIBLE Tiffany Cruikshank on Yin and Meditation. She’s a huge role model for me and this training is a dream come true. I know almost nothing about Yin and I am quite a novice at meditation, but I know this will blow my world WIDE OPEN. Yin yoga works with the fascia in the body, and anyone who’s been on my table knows I LOVE working with fascia. I can’t wait to see how my yoga and massage styles shift and grow the more I learn.

After Thailand, I’m going to be making my way to India for a little bit. After a few weeks soaking up the culture, I’m going to be going to a month long intensive for a 200 Hour Teacher Training. Learning about yoga, as a beginner, from scratch, in the birthplace of yoga.

I CANNOT WAIT TO HAVE MY ASS KICKED (in a loving, non violent way of course, ahimsa haha). To have my realities, my perspectives, my stories, my assumptions, all of it challenged. All of it brought to my attention, so I can grow as a teacher and as a woman. br>
Long story short, I have to follow my curiosity and grow. To stay would be safe and wonderful and amazing, but I’d be doing it out of fear. After tough times last year, I promised myself I would explore and live out of curiosity, not fear.

I have grown to LOVE all the faces I've taught over the years. I hope to see you out at Rave Yoga. If not, I’m sure I’ll see you again soon <3

Much love

Namaste <333
