I can be a bit of an overachiever and always dance that line of balance between giving myself to work versus giving time to myself and loved ones.

Anytime I feel my feathers ruffle off of someone else's success, I have to check myself. It's normally fear based or ego related and it's my daily work to let it go and focus on me, because that's the only person I can control and make grow.

I'd take pasta over skinny any day. More importantly, I'd take health over looks.

I hope to encourage people to take flight on their mats, in their lives, and in their hearts.

Take your time, teach what you love, be unabashedly you, and try not to compare yourself to someone who's been teaching longer than you.

I used to be in my 20s, be single, and work way less. This was conducive to way more hours on the mat and a super fit physique. I'm now 31, engaged, and travel every single week, which puts a major damper on any sort of routine.

I lack routine with yoga, sleep, and food but do my best to keep consistency amongst the chaos.
