Yoga teaching is hard. I get it. I decided a very short time into my teaching and training career that I wasn’t going to be good at teaching the way I had seen others do. What I was incredibly good at, and still am is endlessly creating from my practice. I love to think about…

As a sensitive person, working hard on their own convalescence it has come to my attention that there are some “trafficking” my services as a “healer”.

No, it’s not. I used to live at jewel.yoga and now I’m back with something a bit pared down. Really, this year is for me to rest, research and heal, so what I add as published content I’m doing because I feel there’s energy and capacity to do it. And really, I encourage you to…
