A new yogi doesn't handstand on their first try, and a new teacher doesn't start out as a headliner. Be patient, and trust it's all going to add up and unfold in due time.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Not everyone will love you, and that's completely OK.

Know that your style will always change and that nothing is ever set in stone.
