To say the YTT Training Program was a life changing experience is an understatement. It is more like life metamorphosis! The most valuable lesson I learned was how to be fully present. I had to question my actions, stop blaming others and become accountable. I learned how to look beyond the surface of people and situations, stop judging and truly love others. I learned how to be kind, to Continue Reading
Profound Peace from Within
Many talk about this topic and offer great insight on how to find profound peace from within. Some find it through church, community, study, action and service.

I guess the status of being a 500 hour Yoga Alliance qualified teacher wasn’t so important at that time. But my passion for true ‘whole person’ wellness (yoga, integrative health Continue Reading
Chakras Communicate Important Messages: Yoga, The Path to Divine Self
