I’m always looking for ways to incorporate a bit more meaning into my yoga classes, so I’m not just teaching asana.

“Sometimes we like our thoughts…” ~ Pema Chodron

Another wonderful quote from Pema Chodron. This quote reminds me of the undoing of knots, the undoing of our granthis, the undoing of our samskaras, and the undoing of that which holds us back. “Sometimes we find that we like our thoughts so much that we don’t want to let them go.” Pema Chodron

“The more you know” ~ Aristotle

  Both a blessing and a source of frustration at the same time. This truth sometimes feels like it's thrown in my face again and again. I will always be a student. There is always more to learn. This world has so much to offer. “The more you know, the more you know you don't […]

“In the end, only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.” Buddha I've come across this Buddha quote hundreds, if not thousands of times, and it always speaks to my soul.
