I haven’t always been this happy… although I’ve faked it with a smile for years. Most people don’t know this about me, but I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. I hid it from everyone because I thought it was sign of weakness to show vulnerability. But my secretive suffering only allowed it to grow stronger in the dark shadows of my mind, body and soul.
I always felt like I had something to prove… I never felt like I really fit-in, anywhere, with anyone. I was either too much or not enough. Constantly feeling like I wasn’t good enough made me feel drained and empty inside, like something really big was missing or wrong with me. But I was never willing to accept that as-is. I knew in my heart there was more to life… and so my endless searching for something (or someone) to complete me continued.
My pursuit of happiness has taken me to visit and take up residence in some pretty magical places all over the world. I’ve had a slew of super fun and exciting careers/jobs. I’ve trained for and competed in some crazy-awesome races. But the reward and excitement of each new challenge soon wore-off and I would once again sink into a spiraling pattern of stress, inadequacy, anxiety and depression that would compound on eachother and me to a very dark path of self-destructive addictive behaviors. I was constantly trying to fill the void I felt inside… only leaving me feeling even more lack. And the pattern would repeat, again and again.
It wasn’t until 2018, when I travelled to India and began studying and practicing Sattva Yoga, that my experience with life really began change…
Diving deep into the ancient teachings and practices, has had incredibly significant, sustainable and positive effects on my state of being and my overall experience with myself, others and with life. This is why I teach.
I am honored and deeply inspired to share these teachings with you. I know that with consistent regular practice, you will begin to end your own suffering, like I have. Yoga is the ultimate training… training for the mind, body and soul. Yoga teaches us how to feel true freedom from suffering and self-torture and transcend life’s challenges with grace.
These integrated holistic teachings have catapulted my own personal evolution and have transformed my state of being. Today, I am filled with deep peace, contentment, fulfillment, joy and love. This profound change has re-ignited the call within me to teach and share in hopes that others don’t have to suffer as long as I did.
What if… you haven’t done anything wrong. What if… you are exactly where you are supposed to be in this moment? What if… everything up until now has lead you to this very moment?
