Red Rock Medicine
The sound of Ayla's voice echoes as we enter the Amphitheatre. Looking to our left we see flashes of her long red skirt dancing and skipping on stage. The sun is shining for Ayla, letting the rocks emanate their deepest shades of red among the blue skies. Before the show, the rain crafted a bouquet …
Canggu Beach
The sweet smell of incense and jasmine fill the air, seeping into everything they touch. Surfers line the pockets of the crashing waves, one after another. The water is chilly but the suns heat keeps us warm. Little mangy stray dogs mix in with local collared dogs, sharing barks and barrel rolls in the wet …
A Little About Me & YTT <3
Five years ago, I quit my job and started teaching yoga full time. It was one of those pivotal periods in life where you leave everything you've known behind, some by choice, some not. I started over with the little bit of hope that I had whispering from my heart that this was possible. I …
Drafts & Colors
The thunder is rolling in and my lights have already flickered. Twenty drafts sit hidden in my wordpress account waiting to be published, still not sure if they'll even make the cut. It's hard to not feel censored when you know you're writing through a means other than your journal and an old bank branded …

I've been teaching yoga almost every single day for a bit over 4 years now. When you start teacher training you want a black and white answer for everything. We live by the questions:"What is the right way?" and "What is the wrong way?" of doing xyz. I've learned with time, that really, not everything …
9/5/18
I write and I write and I write. Nothing ever gets published. Everything sits in the draft box. Sometimes it's word vomit, sometimes it's strategically scripted. The common theme is, it all pours out and when it's done I don't feel like it needs to be shared. Sometimes my emotions and feels are so strong …
Opening
Bodies aren’t always as they appear. I can do a handstand and some pretty advanced poses, but some of my foundational poses need work. Things don’t always line up “as they should” and it’s humbling. My calves desperately need to be rolled and released. My quads need to be rolled, released, and stretched. My hamstrings …
Hopping into Handstand
Have you had one of those moments where you see someone do something super cool and then two seconds later your mind instantly rules out any chance of that "thing" ever happening for you? Welcome to being a human. Hopping into handstands was that "thing" for me. The thought of both feet leaving the ground simultaneously …
Less Perfection. More Authenticity.
Less Perfection. More Authenticity. I heard this little gem on a podcast that I've been listening to recently called "Don't Keep Your Day Job" hosted by Cathy Heller. I have lots of long rides, hustling from one class to another throughout the week, some of which are 45 + minutes. The radio bores me and …
