Practicing with a teacher matters.



In the Yoga Sutras, Patanjali explains that practice (abhyāsa) becomes stable through consistency, dedication, and time (YS 1.14). A teacher helps make that possible by offering clear direction and accountability.
Each teacher teaches from their own experience — what they’ve practiced, studied, and lived. That experience shapes how they see the practice and how they guide others. Learning directly from a teacher helps you avoid guessing, build understanding step by step, and apply yoga beyond the mat.
Yoga isn’t just self-practice. A teacher helps you refine effort, recognize habits, and stay aligned with the purpose of the practice.

Sometimes the pressure to keep posting and maintaining engagement feels real.
I don’t always have yoga postures to share, but I will always have a smile, good energy, and caring wishes for you.
Showing up as I am 🤍

This isn’t yoga…
but somehow it teaches me so much about yoga —
and about life. 🤸🏻‍♂️

Handstands aren’t just strength or technique.
They’re confidence, patience, grounding… and a lot of inner work.

I’ve learned that to go upside down,
it’s not my body that needs to relax

The body is fully engaged, awake, supporting me.
It’s my mind that needs softening.
The fear.
The doubt.
The stories that say “I can’t do it/ I’m too old.” 😂

I have to root through my hands,
trust the process,
and—most importantly—
keep breathing when the mind wants to panic.

Handstands remind me that balance isn’t about holding still.
It’s a conversation.
A dance between focus and surrender.
The same dance we meet on the mat
and in every challenge life throws at us.

So no… this isn’t yoga.
But it’s teaching me to show up with more presence,
more courage,
and more trust in myself.

Upside down or right side up —
the practice always has something to say. ✨🤎

The lighting is bad.
The sound is messy.
And my scorpion pose?
Far from perfect.

But this is the reality behind the screen - the part no one talks about when you’re both a yoga teacher and a digital marketer.

One path teaches me to slow down, breathe, surrender.
The other asks me to strategize, produce, create, keep up.
Some days those worlds dance beautifully.
Some days they crash into each other.
And today… they collided right here on my mat.

A wobbly scorpion, recorded in terrible lighting, because I didn’t have time to set anything up “properly.”
But maybe that’s the point.
Yoga isn’t about nailing the perfect pose or filming in golden hour.
Digital marketing isn’t always polished campaigns and flawless content.
Life isn’t curated.
Neither am I.

So here’s the messy version.
The honest version.
The one where I’m practicing between tasks,
trying to balance being a creator, a teacher, a student, and a human figuring it out in real time.

If this is you too —
straddling two worlds, trying to show up authentically in both —
I see you. 🤎

This is what the journey really looks like.
Unpolished.
Imperfect.
But still full of heart.

Guru-Shishya Parampara: A Sacred Bond💫

The Guru-Shishya Parampara is a beautiful relationship based on trust, love, and learning. It’s not just about imparting knowledge, but about guidance through life’s challenges and growth in both mind and spirit. The Guru (teacher) helps the Shishya (student) navigate the world with wisdom, patience, and care. It’s a sacred bond built on respect, humility, and devotion, where the Guru shares their wisdom and the Shishya opens their heart to learn and evolve.

This tradition reminds us that learning is not just intellectual—it’s deeply personal. It’s about becoming better versions of ourselves, growing in wisdom, compassion, and peace.

As the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali say, “When the student is ready, the teacher appears,” signaling that growth happens when we’re open to receiving guidance.

Similarly, in the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna says, “Approach a wise teacher with humility, inquire from them, and serve them. They can guide you because they’ve seen the truth.”

The Guru is there to show us the way, but we must be ready to walk the path with an open heart.

Thank you to all the gurus that have come to this world.

🕉️ **Guru Purnima** 🕉️
Today, I bow in deep reverence to the Guru — the remover of darkness, the one who points us back to the light within.

On this sacred day, I honor the luminous beings who have guided my path — each a thread in the living tapestry of yoga:

🌿 Krishnamacharya – the fountainhead of modern yoga.
🌿 Iyengar – who revealed alignment as prayer.
🌿 Pattabhi Jois – who ignited the fire of disciplined practice.
🌿 Desikachar – who made yoga personal and devotional.
🌿 Swami Sivananda – whose life was pure service.
🌿 Yogananda – who awakened souls to their eternal truth.
🌿 Indra Devi – who brought grace and inclusivity to the West.
🌿 Natasha Nandini – whose *Siva dance* awakens the body as temple, breath as mantra, and movement as offering.
🌿 Stewart Gilchrist – a fierce voice for love, justice, and sacred rebellion.
🌿 David Life & Sharon Gannon – who wove activism, devotion, and sound into asana.

To all my teachers, seen and unseen — thank you.
You’ve shaped how I move, how I serve, how I love.

May we always recognize the Guru — in a person, a breath, a moment of stillness.

🪔 Forever a student.
Happy Guru Purnima 🙏🏼
