Are you interested in getting stronger in your arm balances and inversions (or maybe - get in to your very first crow or handstand)? 😍Are you looking to feel more empowered in your body and mind? Are you looking to build strength, stability and balance in your yoga practice? Or just have more stamina to keep up with your kiddos? 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️And how about injecting more fun and play in to your life?
.
Well, my friends, I have the answer for you! 👏🏼If you haven’t tried our Sculpt & Flow class @yogasix yet - you absolutely must! It has quickly grown in to one of our most popular and powerful offerings, and as teachers, we are constantly getting feedback about how students want MORE of this on the schedule because they are feeling so good in their bodies after taking it! 💪🏼
.
More great news! 👏🏼 I am taking over the Sunday, 9AM Sculpt and Flow class at @yogasixpointloma starting TOMORROW (Sunday, 1/26) at 9AM and would LOVE yo have you there!!!! 🙏🏼
.
If you have not been to Y6 before, you get your first week for $20 so you can come in and take all the classes you want for 7 whole days!!! I also have a couple guest passes for tomorrow’s class only, but you gotta get em while they’re hot 🔥(DM me if you’re interested)!

Due to a few hiccups and coming down with yet another gnarly cold (thank you first year of preschool! 😝) I am FINALLY sitting down to do my 2019 reflection and goal-setting for 2020 (guided by @galadarling 💞) and THIS was the question that really hit me in the gut - “Where was I at the beginning of the past decade and where was I at the end?” 😳
.
HOLY MOLY - the difference is legit, night and day 🙌🏼 In 2010 I was still massively struggling with addiction, and spiraling out of control, had recently been fired from a high level regional management position due to self-sabotage, yet again. I was in my first marriage where I felt trapped, misunderstood and helpless. My world was closing in on me rapidly and I could not see a way out.
.
At the end of the decade? Most importantly - SO MUCH LOVE FOR MYSELF 🥰 A strong, steady, rich, laughter-filled second marriage, beautiful daughter who gives me so much life, an amazing career where I truly get to practice what I love on a daily basis and YOGA as the anchor of it all 🙏🏼
.
My goodness, what a difference 10 years makes! 💞
.
And if ALL THIS is possible in 10 years, can you imagine what can come about over the next 10?!? 🌟
.
I don’t really like to toot my own horn but BEEP BEEP! 🥳I am so proud of myself for how far I’ve come and CANNOT WAIT to see what this next decade brings , especially with more planning, strategy, foresight, vision and SELF-LOVE at the helm. .
THANK YOU to all those who have stood by me (from the dark beginning, especially), supported me, cheered me on, mentored me, given me a chance, and helped me grow. I most certainly would not be here without you 🙏🏼
.
And to YOGA - the foundation of everything good I have and all that I am in my life today - I vowed from the start to live my life in service to you, and that will continue for the rest of my existence. ❤️

Strong backs, soft fronts, wild hearts ♥️
.
I am so excited that @jencarpenterstory and I will embark on leading our third 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training together @yogasixpointloma starting February 28th 💞
.
Yes, you will learn more about yoga, dive deeper in to your personal practice, and learn how to teach a safe, well-rounded and multidimensional yoga class. AND you will also learn how to be courageous and vulnerable with your life (as the two are inextricably linked), learn how to carve out your unique purpose and path, learn how to communicate consciously, hold space for your own transformation, as well as those around you and build a community of support that will last a lifetime.
.
This training has positively affected the trajectory of so many humans’ lives and I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud to be a part of something this magical. I know in my heart of hearts, without a shadow of a doubt, this work is helping to heal the world - one student at a time.

Lions, tigers and bears (and dinosaurs, snakes, and insects), oh my! 😳 Gigi was not at all scared at any of the aforementioned creatures when we visited #theNat on Sunday and I couldn’t help but revel in the combination of bravery and innocence that she embodies.
.
I hope to continue to model that for her. To help her understand that brave innocence is so important, no matter how old you are - to see the best in people, situations and creatures, and at the same time, know her boundaries, what she will stand for and what she won’t, what may be dangerous, and what may just feel dangerous because it’s new and unexplored. .
Thank you 2019 for showing me what I’m capable of, for offering opportunities for me to step in to my bravery and maintain my innocence and benevolence at the same time. ❤️
.
I asked for help in getting better with endings this year and I was offered so many opportunities to do so. Not at all in the way I anticipated, but I’ve come to understand that’s just exactly how the universe likes to work 🙏🏼
.
Never expect, never assume - wise words shared with me through @chaisefitz that will guide me in to this new decade 🙌🏼
.
2020 - I’m so delighted to meet you 🥰

We often hear, “when the student is ready, the teacher appears”, but hardly ever hear the follow-up, “when the student is ready, the teacher disappears.” 💨
.
Solid teachers are meant to set us up for success, offer wisdom and knowledge and be a support system to help guide us back to ourselves and our purpose so we can embody the teachings and bring them out in to the world. .
The purpose of seeking and learning from a teacher is not to be bound to them forever and rely on every word and teaching they espouse, but to find freedom from their teachings and living example and be able to learn how to access our own guru nature (guru = dispeller of darkness and leader in to the light) whenever we need (and we ALL have a guru nature within us). 🌟
.
Great teachers ask questions that lead us back to deciding for ourselves, and invite us to experiment and try on teachings vs. accept them as fact. One of the most important facets a teacher can provide is to offer their wisdom, support you in your growth process, and then let you fly free to test your wings so you can hopefully soar higher and farther than they have 🙌🏼 Great teachers LOVE to see you succeed ❤️
