According to the 8 Limb Path outlined in Patañjali Yogasūtra, practicing gratitude is a key ingredient to health and happiness. The Sanskrit word for this attitude of contentment is: santosha.

I see it all the time: A room full of people of various ages with different bodies, levels of experience and goals all doing the same movements at the same pace. What’s wrong with that? You may be wondering.

My love for the Yoga Sutras has grown over the years as I implement the wisdom into my daily life and witness suffering be replaced with joy! If you’re a student or teacher of Yoga and you have yet to fall in love with this text, hold on to your horses ‘cause this stuff’s good!

The Yoga Sutras provide a roadmap for life. They provide insight into life’s big questions like how can we best respond to people in pain, how can we nurture our relationships & what are the causes of suffering.

So you’ve completed a 200hr Yoga teacher training & you’re eager to share your enthusiasm for the practice with others – sweet! If you’re experiencing self-doubt, questioning whether or not you’re “ready” to teach, or wondering if your teaching is doing the practice justice, rest assured: you’re not alone!
