Dear Yoga Teachers, You don't have to know everything. Don't be afraid to say, 'I don't know'. Teaching is a collaborative process. You will continue to learn with every student you encounter. That is the great adventure of teaching. When I was a new teacher, I felt such pressure to know everything about....everything! - Students would ask me about why their kne..read more

An Invitation to Doubt Your Doubts About Being a Yoga Teacher
With two yoga teacher training programs coming up in the next few months, this week I’ve been fielding a few emails from teacher trainees who are dealing with some self-doubt. This is not uncommon, in fact the pre-course jitters are so common (to us all!) that I’ve written about this before: ..read moreYoga Philosophy Online
Study Yoga Philosophy Online
This month I'm so excited to be launching our newest online programs, Yoga Philosophy Foundations. These courses are based on the study and journaling program that I've been developing, sharing and evolving for the past 12 years in the Yoga Trinity Vinyasa Flow Yoga Teacher Training, and I wanted more people to have a ..read moreArts and Crafts and Yoga
I’ve recently had a Canadian visitor for a few weeks, and we got up to lots of fun travelling, exploring, wine tasting, and learning some arts and crafts. It was a great way to connect and have some fun while she was in town, especially because she is very creative; a natural artist who is studying art in school. I really admire her creativity. I’ve always been in awe..read more

So, in some ways it’s a bit hard to get overly excited about this new year. But, in taking some time to reflect on the journey of the past year, I can’t help but feel grateful for all the great experiences I have had, the lessons learned, the ..read more
Lessons From the Mat – Sequencing
I had a question from a new grad recently about sequencing, and she was feeling a bit pressured to be sequencing a new class every day and wanted to get some guidance. I have written a bit about this here, and will continue over the coming months to discuss a few of the foundations that I work with in my own sequencing. But, to get more ideas, I reached out to a few Trinity..read more
Sequencing for Routine and Variety
I had a great question this week from a recent yoga teacher training graduate about sequencing for her new classes, and it got me to thinking about how we sequence our own home practice each day, week, month, and year. What informs our decisions about what to practice, when to practice, and how often we should do the same practice or how often we should change it up? Whethe..read more
On Work and Rest – Olympic Observations
I’ve been watching a lot of the Olympics the past few days and, like you perhaps, have been thinking about how much hard work, how many years of training, practice, competition, and mental preparation each athlete endures in order to perform at the highest levels of their sport. But, what we might not realize is that just as much as their success is due to work, it is also..read more
