Teacher Community

Hi Reader, There are so many reasons to join me (and this community) for our upcoming book club with Judith Lasater's Yoga Myths. You need some inspiration for your teaching. You want to refine some of your anatomical cueing - the physical experience of shapes in each of your classes. You want to grow your yoga library collection. You want to connect with other yoga teachers. We launch in 10 days! ✨ I'm pumped for this. We're launching on Monday, September 15th, which also happens to be my...

Hi Reader, So excited to hear that many of you are interested in joining my upcoming online book club. I love knowing that you're interested in un/learning - and cultivating a community of like-minded teachers. We launch Monday, September 15th with email #1 landing in your inbox. Note: September 15th also happens to be my 40th birthday that day. This milestone has me feeling lots of things - one of them includes leaning in and taking up a bit more f'ing space. So launching my first online...

Hi Reader, Happy Monday everyone. Yesterday I led my Sunday morning pranayama and meditation class out of my home studio. (I do have drop-ins available for the next two Sunday’s if you want to join us.) My power was out from the storm, and so with that came that really sweet blanket of quiet from the absence of all the things. We opened the windows to hear the rain, lit the room by candlelight, and spent 45 minutes slowing down. Sometimes for pranayama, I offer up an intention for our...

Hi Reader, Coming to you post some late night AthFest adventures and teaching three classes out of my home studio this past weekend. One of those was a Yoga for Yoga Teachers class and it was a delight to bring yoga teachers from different studios together to practice - like really connect to their practice. I hope you can make one one day. We’ve been exploring how to teach through the lens of the koshas recently – with emphasis on the pranamaya kosha (breath/energy body). The Deeper...

Hi Reader, It’s now June and really starting to feel like summer. Things are slowing down, it’s friggin humid, and the town (if you’re here in Athens) is a bit quieter. It’s my favorite. I wanted to take a moment to share some of my intentions for these emails with you. Here’s my one-take unedited self: Seriously. Thank you for being here. Without further ado... In my last email, we explored pranamaya kosha—the energy body that lives beneath our physical experience. But here's what I've come...

Hi Reader, I'm starting something new—a bi-weekly exploration of the deeper layers of yoga teaching. Not just what we teach, but how we can teach in ways that honor the full complexity of our students. Each email will focus on one concept you can immediately integrate into your classes, whether you teach vinyasa, a stretch class, chair yoga, or anything in between. Let's begin with the koshas. In yoga philosophy, we understand the human being as five interconnected layers or “sheaths” called...

Hi Reader, Many of you have expressed interest in diving deep into pranayama, the breath, and establishing a meditation practice. So let's do it. Join me for a 2-day (morning) retreat Saturday May 31 & Sunday June 1st where we'll take a deep dive into foundational pranayama techniques and how to build a home practice. You’ll leave with: an understanding energy raising vs. channeling pranayama techniques for exploring subtle body energy audio recordings of our classes sample handouts and...
