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.

Together We Are One
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.

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 »

This group I am now involved with is spearheaded by Jodi Komitor of Next Generation Yoga. Jodi trained me 9 years ago to teach yoga to children and has continued to be my friend and mentor. When she said she was taking a team to Kenya to share yoga with children, I immediately knew this was something I had to be a part of. Team Next Generation Yoga is committed to working with an organization called the Africa Yoga Project. The mission of the Africa Yoga Project is to “use the transformative power of yoga to empower communities and change lives.” Presently, they have over 50 teachers, between the ages of 16-30, who have studied with and been trained by the well-regarded master yoga teacher: Baron Baptiste.
