I’ve heard it said that “life has only three rules; paradox, humor and change.”

“Paradox. Life is a mystery, don’t waste time trying to figure it out.”

“Humor. Keep a sense of humor, especially about yourself, it is a strength beyond all measure.”

“Change. Know that nothing stays the same.”

Nowhere does this comes back to me time more often than within the four corners of a yoga mat. It’s what I strive to bring to every yoga class I’m in, whether taking or teaching. Knowing not everything can be explained so try and enjoy the moment. Being able to laugh at yourself, and knowing the same pose or sequence can feel different each time you’re in it.

I’ve found myself on my mat in struggle and laughter, in frustration and in focus. Each time in the realization that yoga is more than what I knew it to be the previous day. It is not a destination, but a path; one that you agree to walk at the pace you choose every time you step on your mat.

I strive to offer classes that build gradually, allow folks to take their time, and celebrate that we all have different needs and goals. Afterall, your yoga practice is just that, a practice. You are all you need. I’m looking forward to practicing with you. Shall we begin?
