People love to judge, get used to it and stop taking it personally.

Everyone needs to start somewhere.

Focus on sharing your story and affecting the people that are hungry for your light.

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.

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

There's no need to be fearful when another person succeeds. In fact, joining forces and supporting fellow teachers (or co-workers) you believe in is one of the most empowering moves you can make.
