Is this thing on?? Well hello there! It has been quite a while since I’ve written on this blog, but it is part of my 2015 goals to write here weekly. I have so much to share and this is a perfect place. Since January is always the start of resolutions and goals, I wanted to share what I’ve learned about writing goals and I’ll share a few of mine. Sharing makes you more accountable – it’s something I’m learning!I’m always checking out biz ideas for the yogipreneur (as yogis who own businesses are called) and I learned about doing this thing called a “brain dump.” It’s basically taking everything that’s in your brain, and writing it down.

This is the theme and mantra of this collaboration between Team Next Generation Yoga and Africa Yoga Project. I spent the last year fundraising and raised over $8000 to make this trip happen. This week has been inspiring, emotional, exhausting, enriching and joyful. I worked hard to get here, but also feel so lucky that I get to do this. This work is beyond amazing. I’ve been connecting with people who live so differently then me but inside are truly the same. It’s hard to put into words what is happening here.

Our goal was to come here to teach 80 Africa Yoga Project teachers how to bring yoga to the children they already teach. These teachers have already been trained by Baron Baptiste, but have never learned to formally teach… Read More »
Yoga Outside
Ah, this is a post I’ve been meaning to write all summer long! I love teaching outside and try to do it as much as possible. As soon as the sun starts shining, I try to hold as many classes as I can in the beautiful outdoors. What could be better then using a real tree to help us focus for tree pose? or even using its trunk to lean on? I love hearing the sounds of nature around us as we stretch and fly and breathe. The kids seem to love it- as long as it’s not too hot! I try to find a nice shady spot (especially since this summer has been super hot and I’m super pregnant!). The best part is relaxation before the eye pillows. I love having the kids look up at the sky and notice what they see. Clouds, tree leaves, birds,… Read More »
