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!

Affirmations are small mental shifts that we can make to move our attention away from thoughts that weigh us down, and towards thoughts that lift us up.

We can either approach goals from a place of fear or love, and respectively, can either create more joy or more frustration. When we approach goals from a place of fear, we fall into a trap of using goal setting as another opportunity to measure our worth externally.

You are not broken! So many industries thrive on you believing the lie that you are unworthy, incomplete, or unlovable in your current condition.

Although we cannot control other people’s behavior, we can certainly control whether or not we communicate our needs with requests, and nurture our relationships with consistent praise.
