Proud to announce that I have officially taught 100 hours of yoga ! I am beyond blessed for the opportunities that I have been given to grow, connect, and share over this past year, and I am especially thankful for the incredible students and mentors who have guided me along the way. From discipline and mindful action to the gentle mantra of 'do less', I cannot wait to see what the remainder of this year brings as we journey together into both expansion and rest.

A special shout out goes also to Carrie and (pictured), which hosted my very first public classes. 💜🙏🏽

How long have you been teaching yoga? What has changed about your style or about you as a teacher over that time? Let me know in the comments!
