August 22 2019 - I Taught My First Yoga Class!
August 22 2019 - I Taught My First Yoga Class!
This post is really about Imposter Syndrome. A topic I am too familiar with.
On August 16 2019, my yoga teacher trusted me to teach an evening restorative yoga class to three students. A class I have taken only twice.
I immediately went into the roller-coaster of emotions from nervous to excited to doubt to confidence to worry (and back through the cycle again).
But I learned that with every new and scary thing, I am completely capable and, since I put my whole self into my passions, I can confidently say I will do my very best every time. (Which doesn't make it easier, I know!)
The take home message? No more "fake it 'til I make it". Show up, be yourself, work hard, be proud of yourself.. and you will shine!

August 13 2019 - Adhikara
Adhikara is a yoga philosophy meaning to be prepared to be a student. Another definition is preparing the heart to transform.
At work and in my personal life, I love to learn. But, I have a tendency to prematurely think I can start DOING before I learn or practice enough. We won’t have what is needed to transform if we try to skip the crucial beginning steps!
It’s like cramming for a test the night before after not studying all semester. I might have gotten away with it in the past, but I can’t now - especially for lifelong self-development.
This can seem frustrating, but it’s worth the wait.
The take home message? Don’t worry about how long it takes, your time will come to transform.
