Yes, I teach yoga. But it's only one (small) part of my movement practice. More often than not, the parts of the practice I'm most drawn to are the ones that are more reflective in nature.

Through the years, I've gained an appreciation for the things my body can do and have learned the limits that I want to play in. This, for me, is where my yoga practice kicks in. Is it my ego telling me to go heavier, higher, faster? Or is it coming from a place of curiosity?

I recently started back with the lyra after a few injuries, and what fun it's been! Progress has been slow, but everything is a win when the goal is experience ❤️

Shout out to the incredible .photography for setting up this incredible day a few weeks ago. ✨️

A full cup will spill without a steady hand.

The more we have, the more careful we need to be. Note: careful does not mean stingy.

When a cup is empty, it can move any which way and nothing will fall out. With a full cup, we need to mind the impact.

Abundance requires control. We all want the "full cup"...the peace, the growth, he opportunities.
But we don't tend to talk about the discipline it takes to keep them.

With a full cup, we're more vulnerable to loss and cannot move the same way we did with an empty one. Every move needs to be intentional.

We had such a beautiful time filming Episode 3 of Simply Cooking with Daniela Crocco for our local TV station this past weekend! ✨

We rolled up our sleeves and made samosay — the kind of food that doesn’t just fill our plates, but brings people together. For so many of us, recipes like these are more than just ingredients and spices — they’re stories, memories, and love folded into every layer.

In our community, food has always been the cornerstone of connection. It’s how we celebrate, how we comfort, and how we weave ourselves into the larger fabric of who we are.

If you're in the Ottawa area, I host samosa making workshops for small groups bi-monthly and by request! The 2026 schedule will be posted soon.

Keep an eye out for the episode airing this January. I can’t wait to share this little taste of home and heart with you all!

Pilot program loading ✨️

We're doing something a bit different with a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training that looks and feels different from the usual model. This will be a 12-month journey, moving at a gentler pace so that yoga can weave into everyday life instead of feeling like an intensive sprint.

This training is rooted in a decolonized approach and centred on the BIPOC experience. We’ll grow together in practice, reflection, and community — with space to breathe and be.

If you’ve been wanting a path into teaching, or simply to deepen your relationship with yoga in a way that feels authentic and sustainable, this may be the place for you.

Scholarships are available through . DM me if you’d like to learn more — I’d love to share this first step with you🫶🏾

Please share with anyone who may find benefit in this program.

Life has a way of humbling us, softening us, and teaching us through both joy and ache. Here are a few reminders that I come back to:

✨️ Time doesn’t heal on its own. It’s what we do with the space time gives us that matters.
✨️ Grief is love with nowhere to land. To grieve is to honor love.
✨️The lessons we avoid most fiercely contain the medicine we most need.
✨️To listen deeply is to love. To be listened to deeply is to heal.
✨️Life is not asking us to perfect ourselves into flawless beings. It is asking us to remember that our imperfections are the threads that weave us together.
✨️Growth isn’t always expansion. Sometimes it’s shedding, simplifying, or being still.
✨️ The body holds stories the mouth has never told. Listening inward is its own form of healing.
✨️ In relationsgips, true love doesn’t demand possession only presence.
✨️Wisdom doesn’t always live in answers, but in the courage to ask better questions.

May these serve as little anchors when life feels heavy, or when you need to remember your own softness. 💫

There’s a quiet wisdom that comes from walking through life with open eyes and a softened heart.

It’s not the kind we earn through perfection or performance, but the kind we remember in stillness, after the storm has passed. The kind that speaks in whispers when we're ready to hear them.

Here are some musings as I reflect on my own life:

• We don’t outgrow the past—we carry it more wisely.
• Peace often arrives as boredom before it becomes beauty.
• Not everyone who hurt us will ever apologize. We heal anyway.
• Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re filters.
• Life whispers truth in the quiet; are we still enough to hear it?
• We’re not broken. We’re layered.
• Repair holds more power than perfection.
• Sometimes growth looks like softening.
• We already belong: to ourselves, to each other.
• Wisdom moves like water—slow, persistent, life-giving.

Not all yoga teacher trainings are created equal.

If you're thinking about doing one—whether to deepen your practice or to teach—here are 5 things to look for that go beyond Instagram vibes and a shiny website:

1. Do they teach yoga philosophy with context—not just quotes?
If they name-drop Patanjali or “The Gita” without explaining colonization, caste, or how yoga evolved in India, that's a red flag. You deserve more than ancient wisdom turned into aesthetic inspo.

2. Who’s leading the training—and who’s missing?
Is the faculty mostly white, Western, and flexible? Ask who teaches philosophy, history, anatomy, and what their lived relationship to yoga is. Representation matters. So does accountability.

3. Is it rooted in practice—not performance?
If they’re obsessed with advanced asana, inversions, and “yoga bodies,” that’s gym culture—not yoga. A solid training will prioritize breath, ethics, accessibility, and inner inquiry.

4. Do they acknowledge harm in the wellness world?
Do they talk about cultural appropriation, trauma-informed teaching, power dynamics, ableism, and how to do better? Or is it all love & light & lemongrass oils?

5. Will they teach you how to teach—or just how to flow?
Teaching yoga is a skill. It’s not just leading a sequence. Look for trainings that prepare you to hold space, work with different bodies, and keep learning long after graduation.

If it’s just a bootcamp for performing yoga...it’s not it.

Yoga has roots. It’s living culture. Don’t let anyone sell it to you without honouring that.

Yoga propaganda? Babe, I’m not buying it. Let’s unpack the scroll-worthy scam:

✨️Just because we can put our foot behind our head doesn’t mean we’ve met our soul.

✨️If our practice disappears without the camera on… was it ever yoga to begin with?

✨️“High-vibe only” is cute until we realize yoga was made to sit in discomfort, not dodge it.

Sage isn’t an accessory. And no, our $200 mat doesn’t make us enlightened.

Yoga isn’t a performance — it’s a practice. There’s no applause for showing up, just growth.

Real yoga unravels us. The stretchy pants are optional. The shadow work? Not so much.

Spoiler: chanting “spiritual mantras” without context doesn’t make our class spiritual — it makes it performative.

Yoga isn’t silent. It speaks truth to power — colonization, capitalism, all of it.
