Perspiration. Inspiration.
Let's talk about sweat.
Thomas Edison said "Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration."
I’m no genius, but everything I'm most passionate about distills to those two things
~ perspiration and inspiration ~
physicality and artistic life.
And the relationship between them:
body and imagination, sweat and storytelling, physical freedom and creative flow.
After a long and frustrating experience of disconnect, yoga was key to unlocking
my physical power and imaginative resources.
Ever since I made this discovery, I’ve had missionary zeal about it.
I love to share the love.

Today, my goal is to offer practices that are reverently rooted in ancient wisdom and tradition,
and truly accessible, applicable and adapted for modern creative life.

You don’t need to feel like “the yoga type.”
The only thing that needs to be flexible is your attitude.
This isn’t about impressive poses, or a yoga booty or thigh gap.
This is about bringing your realest real and opening to the possibility that it is enough.
That your body is just right, your movement is prayer, your story matters, your life is art.
You have the right to be a mover, maker, creator.
To let your imagination grow wild.
This is about helping you find an authentic way to move
a feeling of flow, a sense of freedom, an experience of beauty truly your own
that you can let go into with devotion,
that leads you to your center.
I know from my own stumbling, bumbling, ever humbling, nearly 20-year practice
Source can be found in
sweat and sweetness, laughter, tears, and tired muscles, beating heart and full, blessed breath.
Move ecstatically, freely, move from your heart.
Move without fear of doing it wrong.
If you’re breathing you’re doing it right.
If you love yourself when you move this way, you’re doing it right.
If moving like this feels divine, you’re doing it right.
Keep going, keep flowing
Create your yoga day by day
You are exactly where you need to be.
Don't sweat it.
