I quit my job... Yup: I decided to stop the bartending shenanigans and start teaching more yoga.  Although at this very moment I’m beyond scared and have no idea what’s going to happen (when do we ever, really?), I still have this compelling energy to do more. Someone...

Growing up is a trap! I repeat: GROWING UP IS A TRAP! I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, I would dance to the beat of my own drum or any beat at all.  Half the time, I was pantsless doing it.  I’m not sure when it happened, but at some point, I started...

I think at this point in this yoga jam of mine I have taken something like five teacher trainings (and who knows how many workshops). For a long time, there was this underlying issue I had that I wasn't ready to be a “real teacher” or “I didn’t know enough”. I failed...

Do as you're told, follow the rules, fit in… Just some of the many phrases I’m not a big fan of. I remember awhile back walking in an airport and people staring at me. Maybe it was the tattoos or the crazy mohawk hair I had at the time but it made me feel a little...

A good friend of mine (Hi Tim!) said something to me a few weeks back about surrounding yourself with the people you want to become. He was telling me about this study that found we are the average of the five people that we are most connected with, and for me that...

I started my second 500hr teacher training program... you know, because I needed two. Looking at my busy schedule after day one, the first thing that came to mind was “oh shit... How the hell am I going to do this?”. While it made me momentarily question why I even...
