So much magic lies beyond our fears.

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

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.

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

Don't look for shortcuts, because they'll only hurt you in the long run.

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.
