To my YogaDownload students, thank you for practicing with me and for your commitment to your personal practice. It's truly an honor to share in your yoga journey, no matter where you are or what time of day it is. Ah, the blessings of YogaDownload. To each of you and to future students, I hope you follow your yogic curiosity, whether you're drawn to wild poses, to deeper states of relaxation, to heal, to strengthen. Whatever sparks you, whatever feels good, follow that. May you relax into it all, there is no one way, no right way, there is only your way. Give yourself permission to evolve, to change your mind, and to play with it all. This is the gift of YogaDownload and your yoga. Move with whatever moves you.
In your words, what is yoga?
Yoga is an unveiling. Yes, it means to yoke, to unite, but that union arises from unveiling the sweetness of your true self. To me, yoga is the profound connection of "Ahhh", the sense of peace, and clarity that seeps into your waking life. The graceful unfolding of the small stuff, so you don't have to think about it or carry it. It's within this spaciousness each of us experiences that sweetness of the true self. The freedom from titles, ideals, tasks, or even roles. It's within this spaciousness of being that we unite with our best selves, our higher wisdom, the divinity that flows through us. Union-Yoga becomes your way of being.
What inspires your teaching?
To me, there is no greater teacher or inspiration, than watching nature's animation of life. Our Earth shows me the importance of connection, how all things and every being is sacred. Her lessons to be unique, to trust intuition, to grow from wisdom, to be limitless, and the greatest resources are within each of us.
What has yoga taught you?
Yoga has taught me how to believe in myself, that there is nothing to prove, and it's all good. Its lessons have led me to greater acceptance and to my true calling. It's shown me how to know and understand energy in order to create a healthy thriving life and has led me to the fulfillment of spirituality. To quote Albert Camus, " The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." Yoga freed me.
