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.

I can be highly competitive, which is ultimately why I chose yoga as a career. I thought it would drain the competitive drive out of me and allow me to be present and content. The yoga world has become highly competitive since then and it used to drive me crazy until I realized there's work for everyone.

I've been doing Isha Kriya meditation and love it. Don't get me wrong, it isn't easy or available everyday - but I'm making the effort to stop, sit, breath, and connect.

Happiness is a state a mind, not a dress size.

Cooking brings me so much joy. I love everything, down to the execution of the plate to picking out fresh ingredients at the market. It makes me deeply grateful and aware of where our food comes from and how feeding people is another way of saying, "I love you."

There will always be people who can do it better than you, but that's a good thing! Start to see competition as inspiration — without envy.

Never focus on what you can’t do - only imagine everything you could.
