A yoga instructor friend of mine posted this quote to her Facebook wall last week and it immediately struck a cord with me. I can’t believe how long it took me to post. Dream big yogis!
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”
~ Harriet Tubman
The world of yoga is growing and there are so many opportunities to grow your practice, to delve in deep and immerse yourself in yoga asana, philosophy, meditation and more. How do you even decide? I put together this short list of places worth checking out with three words that describe the facilities/atmosphere/etc… some are retreat centers, some are studios, some are retreat centers that offer drop-in classes. Many of the yoga centers below also offer detox and wellness practices. Now is the time to be the best version of you. Take a look.
This list is by no means exhaustive…. although I did lean more toward exotic than conventional in my destinations. Enjoy!

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 know.”
Aristotle
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
Paulo Coelho speaking to my heart. Where is a heart emoji when you need one?
