Dear YogaDownload students,
I feel lucky to be able to guide you through these practices virtually for several years now. Yoga has helped me so much, and it makes me happy that I get to share it with you all around the world, in your living rooms, offices, or wherever you practice virtually. It's nice to hear from you also, so never hesitate to reach out, it makes my day, and I welcome any requests for future classes. It's also been amazing to meet many of you in person at retreats over the past few years.
Remember to keep showing up for yourself on your mat, even if you've fallen out of the habit of practicing for a while, you feel pressed for time, or unmotivated. The frequency of your practice might ebb and flow, but all it takes is one good practice to get back into the swing of it and remember how good yoga can make you feel.

Dear YogaDownload students, As we continue to find our footing after so much uncertainty, one of the most powerful places to look for answers is within. Since 2001, yoga has been a tool for both self-reflection and self-acceptance. As a teacher, my students are my greatest gift. They inspire me to stay the course and challenge me to find ways to offer the art in accessible and loving ways. When you practice yoga, be open to letting your breath be your guide, your body your teacher and your mind a willing participant to the journey.

Hello YogaDownload family. How about these last 2 amazing years? Yes, I said amazing. I learned more about myself, my yoga practice, on and off the mat and how I practice the Yamas and Niyamas, and as was revealed to me, bypass them. How and why I teach has also changed tremendously. I kind of wasn’t paying attention to the 100,000 miles I was flying all over the world to teach and the months away from family and friends. It was easy as I am so passionately connected to what I do. It took months to soften and settle and accept doing things a new way, connecting with people in different ways. Then, I settled and realized a new part of me had been fed, physically, spiritually, emotionally, or maybe awakened is a better way to describe it. So, as many teachers begin to travel again and lead retreats and trainings, I have yet to jump back in there. Teaching on zoom and creating online content allows me to connect with all of you more often than if I just came through for a weekend. Also, I’ve moved to Florida and have connected with a community of people that are not interested in pushing limits and finding the next variation of poses. Rather, these amazing seniors are seeking to age gracefully and accept their physical bodies as they grow into their 70s, 80s and 1 man, I teach, is 91. They teach me so much. Yoga has taught me about all beings, happy and free and that the definition of freedom comes in many different forms. For those of you that are new to practicing with me here in the YogaDownload community, welcome. Investigate and excavate. It could be the most amazing thing of your entire life. Who wants to miss that?

Dear YogaDownload students,
Hello lovelies! Thank you for letting me be part of your YogaDownload community! Every time I get an email of one of your reviews, my heart bursts with joy! Sharing the reverence in moving slow, soaking in Sound Journeys, and connecting to who we truly are is a blessing. I’m grateful for all of you. Remember, friends, we don’t have to show up as anyone, be anyone, or act a certain way—on or off the mat—to be “good” at yoga or life. Life is just about being alive and embodying who we truly are more fully. You—exactly as you are, without changing a thing about yourself—are worthy of it all. You’re enough simply by existing. See you on the mat for Yin + Sound. All the love!

Hello Yogis! As a YogaDownload teacher from nearly its conception, I am constantly and regularly blown away at your studentship, your kindness, and your support. Stepping onto the yoga mat is radical because it asks you to look for answers inside of yourself and then to be a better person to all. You won't find those answers in wrinkle creams or someone else's adoration - but only if you tune into your inner knowing. When I picture the "typical" YogaDownload student, I imagine them with young ones crawling around on the ground nearby or in a bustling hotel room on work travel - so I know that first ask is a big one already. Then, to get to connect with all of you and the ways you are showing up in the world, I trust that you took care of step one because you are onto step two. I am constantly blown away by your stories, your present moment lives, and your dreams for the future. Thank you for letting me be a part of your journey. Thank you for believing in yourself enough to do this work. And I hope we find many more opportunities to practice in the future.

Hello to all of you amazing and dedicated Yoga Download students!! I see you and the work you're putting in for yourself. I read and appreciate the comments you share about your experience with the classes. I'm so grateful to be able to do this kind of 'work' - to share something I believe in so deeply with people like you who are interested and willing to do the work, to step onto the mat and see where it all goes, how it all flows from there! There is no end to this lifelong yoga journey - I encourage you to stay present, stay positive and trust the process and practice.
