I’ll be honest… as a yoga teacher, I don’t always follow my own advice.
This month I pushed way too hard—teaching 20 + classes a week, running a studio, retreats, being a single parent… and then being told I had to move out of my home by Christmas… packing mode went Boom 💥
My body went straight into fight mode and I just kept going.
I didn’t slow down.
I didn’t listen.
And eventually my back made the choice for me.
Two bulging discs later… I finally got the message the universe had been whispering: stop. listen. soften.
People rarely talk about getting injured within the wellness world—because we’re often busy promoting the light. But the truth is, this has cracked me open in real, uncomfortable, but necessary ways.
I’m still teaching, but on a limited schedule, and I’m cueing everything without demos.
It’s given me the chance to really WATCH my students—to support them, protect them, and guide them so they don’t move in ways that could harm their own bodies. It’s deepening my teaching more than I ever expected.
This experience is forcing me to look at how I live, how I push, and how I care for myself.
It’s giving me a whole new level of compassion for anyone who walks into class with pain in their body.
So now… I’m listening.
Really listening.
My body asked for rest.
This time, I’m giving it. 💛🧘♀️✨
