There's always two sides to the coin if you have the patience to see.

I was a tomboy growing up and then fell into the world of theatre and musical theatre. A girlfriend introduced me to yoga in college and I was hooked. I didn't really know anything about it except that it was the highlight of my week. I ended up graduating from the University of Virginia and moving to Los Angeles where I could continue acting and do a yoga teacher training. I went from practicing once or twice a week to several hours everyday. I loved it.

Yoga has expanded beyond asana for me. It's how I live my life and currently I'm throwing myself into a meditation practice.

So much magic lies beyond our fears.

So acknowledge here to yourself, ‘I am unique, and while there may be someone who is better than me at this or that, it doesn’t matter because they’re not me. So no matter what, they’ll never do it like me because that’s impossible.’ So embrace the quirks, embrace your individuality, embrace where you are in life. No one else is like you, and that is special, and that is unique.

It's important to remember that there are many different types of people, styles of teaching and that we won't agree with all of them.

My biggest struggle has been balancing where I give my energy.
