I deal with negative, nasty comments on a regular basis. It's difficult to digest because I've always been sensitive and it's a slap in the face to have someone respond cruely when you're trying to lift people up. It's been a huge lesson for me.

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.

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.

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.

There is always room for change, but you have to be open to that change.

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.

I take my fearless approach into my teaching by helping my students to realize their potential through yoga. I have a gift for making difficult poses accessible and reminding people that postures, and anything in life, are only as hard as you make them out to be.
