What’s your favorite yoga pose and why?
I find it very hard to narrow down to just one pose, but if I had to choose I Would say camel, Ustrasana! Heart openers are very powerful for me, they allow me to physically and be so open. I feel like I am releasing so much tension and worry off of my shoulders. It is a pose I incorporate into a lot of my daily practices, and teachings.
What is your favorite quote?
Again, I have so many little quotes in my toolbox that I always refer back to! But if I had to choose, one that is so profound for me is “In order to get to the path of the least resistance you must first go through the path of the most resistance” I am not sure who wrote this quote, but it came to my life at such a time when I needed to hear it and it stuck to me ever since. It is a reminder that when you think things are falling apart or life is testing you, there is always a breakthrough on the other side! I have been proven this time and time again throughout my life thus far.
What inspires you in your practice?
I am so inspired by connection and exploration. Every time I meet and connect with like-minded souls, and explore new places it really inspires something deeply into my practice and my life. I mean the goal is to take the practice off the mat and into our everyday lives!
