There’s a common misconception that making money from spirituality-related services is bad or blasphemous, and this is simply not true. It is completely and absolutely okay to receive payment for services that positively impact people and the world. Yoga is a powerful practice that has provided healing for millions of people around the world, and yet so many yoga teachers find themselves struggling to pay rent. There are ways to create income as a yoga teacher so if this is t

I’m excited to share my #1 tip for all new yoga teachers, though this tip is also key for established yoga teachers too. Teaching a yoga class has so many layers to it.

Well, the day has finally come for us to begin planning our first 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training for women! Our Yoga Alliance approved 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training (Y

There are many different types of yoga in the world but sometimes we think of yoga as just yoga. I hear people share that they went to a gym yoga class once and didn't like it and therefore have sworn off all yoga, and this is really sad to me. This is like saying you tried a restaurant once and didn't like it so you've now sworn off eating out ever again. When we realize that yoga has so many different styles, teachings and postures, we realize that it is a hugely diverse pr

Many of us likely go to yoga a few times a week and find that it adds a variety of benefits to our lives. In the past I've usually committed to going to a yoga class 4 or 5 days a week but recently wanted to commit to going every day for a week. I'm excited to share with you what I found changed for me by going to yoga everyday for a week! I chose to go to yoga daily for a week for a number of reasons. Among them: I am working on building arm strength, I have been noticing hu

It's been almost 7 years since I took my first 200 hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training. In that time, I've completed two 200 hour RYT programs and begun my 500 hour RYT. Through all of these trainings and immersions, I've been asked what tips or suggestions I have for people who are wanting to become yoga teachers but don't know where to begin. I'm excited to share with you 6 things I wish I knew before I started my yoga teacher training! These are things that I learned alo

About 18 months ago I received my diving certification in Costa Rica through CMAS and it was an absolutely life changing journey. I had wanted to learn how to dive for a long time but fear had held me back. That was, until April 2017 when I finally said YES to taking the plunge. (Literally and figuratively!) About 4 years ago while in Thailand I signed up for a Discovery Dive on the island of Koh Tao and had an incredible time. With a discovery dive, the instructor takes you

This August we gathered in the beautiful desert of Southern Utah for a powerful sacred women's retreat. These 16 women gathered with us for our Utah Goddess Retreat and we had such a deeply, sacred retreat together! We laughed together, cried together and remembered the wild woman within together. Huge gratitude to Arika of Zion Adventure Photography for captauring all of these powerful moments! We lead Goddess Retreats in Utah multiple times a year so if you are hearing the

We all have a few yoga poses that in our minds are impossible. Maybe for you it's a handstand or scorpion, frog pose or bird of paradise. We go to a class and they cue one of these poses and we are left to sit there and think "HA! As if!" While this is a very normal mentality in yoga, I am here to challenge this belief in you and maybe even push you to reach beyond this limiting belief. For as long as I've been practicing yoga, the one pose that seemed radically out of reach
