I was a stay-at-home mom of three young children and had started going to yoga and loved how it made me feel - especially how it supported my emotional and spiritual self. My teacher at the time had always said to be open to signs no matter the size of them... sometimes they come to us very quietly and other times it can be a loud are-you-paying attention kind of way! One week I felt this deep sense that I was meant to be a yoga teacher and in a matter of days I had numerous people tell me I should teach or thought I already was teaching. I took that as a "are you listening" kind of sign that I should think seriously about becoming a yoga teacher. Shortly after that I enrolled the Teacher Training with Sandra Sammartino. This was an experiential training, going deep into all the limbs of yoga and I have never looked back.

Since becoming a teacher, I have a stronger sense of how we hold stress (emotional and physical) in our bodies and how that can lead to dis-ease. The more we can allow ourselves to let go and open up first though the physical body (asanas) we can peel away the layers of armouring and hardening that not only shows up in the posture, joints and muscles but more so in our state of well-being - our emotional bodies and personalities. We become softer, more accepting, and non-judgemental of others and ourselves the more our body opens through yoga. We all have a story, good and bad, but not all of us have learned how to let go and move forward in our lives in a positive direction and be Kind and Humble during the process.
