I Took a Break

I've been absent from the teaching scene for a little bit. Thanks for sticking with me. I took a little break because I feel dedicated to bringing the teachings of yoga off the mat and into my life. One of the biggest things that yoga continually teaches me is that more is not always better.

In our modern world we so often feel that if we just try harder, effort more, do more, push through, we will find success. Yoga teaches us that sometimes softer is better, less is better, more ease is better.

As a teacher I want to encourage my students to find that balance as well. I don't want to just talk about it if my actions are clearly indicating the opposite. I want to lead by example and be true to my principles. So I took a break. It's a stressful time for all of us. Let go of what you can, what you need to. You can always come back to it. Allow yourself a little less effort and a little more ease. It's okay to try softer.
