Yoga saved me from burnout. Now I share the practice that helped me heal. “I finally reached the fork in the road, and I chose the path of authenticity.

I’m a yoga instructor blending movement, breath, and intention to help others reconnect—with their bodies, their peace, and their purpose on & off the mat. I don’t know what’s going to happen. But I feel good!”- India Arie, 2007

“What should I do to get there?”

There will be a moment when your body says enough.
Mine did.

In 2021, I was in a car accident that left me with a herniated disc.
I healed without surgery. Without opioids.
Through movement, strength, & yoga.

Around the same time, I was navigating deep burnout in my pharmacy career—
feeling unseen, unfulfilled, and constantly pushing through things my body was asking me to slow down for.

That accident also confirmed something else:
I live with an autoimmune disease you can’t see.
& advocating for myself—at work, in life, in my health—suddenly felt “inconvenient” to other people.

Yoga wasn’t something I picked up for aesthetics or flexibility.
It became a way to listen.
A way to regulate my nervous system.
A way to stay in my body instead of overriding it.

I didn’t set out to become a yoga teacher.
I just knew I couldn’t live disconnected from myself anymore.

exists for people who are:
✨high-functioning but exhausted
✨successful but burnt out
✨managing things others can’t see
✨learning how to choose themselves without guilt

I don’t preach self-care.
I practice it—because it saved my life.

If this resonates, you’re in the right place 🧡

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, from my heart to yours 🎄✨

As the year winds down, I just want to say thank you.
Thank you for practicing with me, learning with me, growing with me, & showing up—whether that looked like movement, rest, reflection, or simply being here.

However you’re celebrating (or not celebrating) this season, I hope you find moments of presence, ease, and connection—especially with yourself.
The most meaningful gift isn’t always wrapped. Sometimes it’s rest. Sometimes it’s breath. Sometimes it’s permission to be exactly where you are.

Sending love to you & yours. May it meet you gently and return to you tenfold 🧡

Grateful for this space, this community, and the reminder that yoga lives everywhere—on & off the mat.

As the year slows down, I’m choosing presence over pressure. ✨🧡

Not starting over.
Not doing more.
Just continuing—with intention.

If you needed a reminder today, this is it.

As the year winds down, this is your reminder:
✨ the words you repeat shape how you move through life.

These are the affirmations I’ve shared in class this year—
not because things were easy,
but because they mattered.

If this season feels heavy, you’re not behind.
You’re still here & not alone.

Which one are you carrying with you right now? 🧡
Save this for later or share it with someone who needs it.

P. S.
🌑 New Moon in Sagittarius tonight— reflect & realign.

Restorative yoga isn’t about doing less.
It’s about doing what your nervous system actually needs.

Here’s why restorative practices matter—especially in busy seasons of life:

✨ Slowing down on purpose
Restorative poses give your body permission to pause so your nervous system can shift out of survival mode.

✨ Supporting deep rest & recovery
When the body feels supported, it can finally release tension held in muscles, joints, and breath.

✨ Regulating the nervous system
Longer holds + intentional stillness help calm the stress response and invite balance back in.

✨ Creating space to feel
Without the pressure to “perform,” restorative yoga allows you to notice what’s happening internally—physically, emotionally, mentally.

✨ Practicing self-care that actually lasts
This is the kind of rest that carries off the mat and into your daily life.

Rest doesn’t have to be earned.
It can be practiced. 🧡

If you’ve been craving deeper rest, more spaciousness, or a softer way to reconnect with yourself… this is your sign to explore it a little more.

Save this for later, or share it with someone who needs permission to slow down. ✨

I say “addicted,” but really… I just noticed how much better my life is when I actually rest 😌
Wild concept, I know.

Somewhere along the way, self-care stopped being optional & became non-negotiable—
because I like how I feel when I make time for myself.

As we head into a new year, I’m less interested in doing more
& way more interested in staying consistent with what actually supports me.

Rest, movement, rituals, a good mask & a long Savasana— I’m choosing that energy ✨
& yes… more of this is coming at Self-Care & Savasana this January 🧡
