A year ago I was still riding the high of teaching my first 200 hour RYT in Guatemala with . I came home different. I fell in love with the practice in a new way. And I knew I wanted to teach more, especially with her.
During our time together, I got the first text about the opportunity of reopening burn & bloom. And she was there to celebrate the possibility with me.
To be honest, I thought we’d be in Guatemala again teaching together around this time. But things change and that didn’t happen.
So earlier this year- I reached out to her and asked if she’d be interested in developing our own curriculum and launch the first ever burn & bloom 200 hour yoga teacher training. AND SHE SAID YES.
So we GOT TO WORK! Kylie has a lot of knowledge and experience in teacher trainings and I really cannot imagine doing this with anyone else. We spend many hours on zoom calls, organizing all of our knowledge to develop the curriculum, me figuring out in design, her teaching me how to properly use Google Drive 😂, me changing things on canva (because of Course I needed to do all my own designs- aesthetic does matter!) and I’m not going to downplay it- I’m fu***ng proud of what we created.
I have spent the last decade practicing and teaching and LIVING my yoga practice. During that time I have gone through many life changes: moving, divorce, career changes, surgeries, injuries, dating, solo parenting, buying my first house, marriage, traveling for trainings, being a student, traveling for teaching, opening a studio, closing a studio, launching other businesses…. It’s a lot. And all the experience has made me the woman and teacher that I am. This practice has changed mg entire life (thankfully 😂)
So as I reflect on 2025- I started this year with a lot of hope and excitement. And I’m sending the year with the same AND ALSO with pride and satisfaction at everything I accomplished this year. And that has built the confidence in myself and the future of BURN&BLOOM. And let me tell you… 2026 is looking BRIGHT.
So happy new year. From BURN&BLOOM, body movement studio AND NOW REGISTERED YOGA SCHOOL!!!!
