What’s your favorite moment during teacher training? I’m not sure there was an exact moment but somewhere along the line there was an incredible transformation. The challenges of working so hard and so long at something revealed a strength I didn’t know I had. Discovering some inner strength was pretty magical on it’s own, then learning to accept it as part of who I really am is an ongoing challenge and delight.

What are your aspirations for next year? Teaching feels like the very beginning of my next step. I’d really like to bring together my passions for art and writing with yoga and teaching to create a lifelong practice that is both fulfilling and productive; where I can keep learning, creating, and sharing my lessons with students.

Who inspires you? My younger cousin, Eden. At 16, she’s an incredible dancer and choreographer. Watching her move across a stage is always a beautiful, emotional, and riveting experience. She helps me to remember the worth of pouring your heart into your passions, it’s the most energizing idea to remember.

Current book that you are reading? Asana Pranayama Mudra Bandha. It’s a thick yoga book filled with instructions on all of the practices in the title. I reference it daily and sometimes indulge in a few sections at a time, working on incorporating new practices into my own and progressing towards poses that I dream of one day achieving.

Anything else you’d like to share with us during the month of December? Breathe. Think about breathing, remind yourself to breathe as often as possible. Moving through life along with the breath makes everything feel a bit easier. Also, surround yourself with good people and fill your mind with good thoughts.
