"After having permanent rods drilled into my spine and a colon disease diagnosis requiring me to be on chemotherapy drugs indefinitely, I vowed to never take this body for granted for a moment ever again"

" I took my first yoga class when I was 18 in college about 25 years ago. The imprints from different cycles of me, styles of practice, teachers, what I needed at that time & what it means to me has drastically shifted over time and no doubt will continue to evolve
.
Asana practice painstakingly met me exactly where I was when I couldn’t barely bare being in my own skin. Strong commitment to asana practice fighting my way through much pain brought me back home inside where I found joy again
.
Through seeing myself when I was shattered in my teachers and community I remembered who I truly am inside and how boundless my infinite potential is
. I came back home inside after being imprisoned & shackled in a strangers body. I never know when this gift of mobility will be taken away from me, so for now I’m not holding back a thing, I’m going big inside. Than I began to be of service by teaching other people and through this together we transform ourselves by what we learned in “prison”
.
Asana practice brings me deep inside myself where I can actually access stillness. Where no matter what happens on the outside, this private impenetrable oasis gives me shelter 🙏
