A story I wrote is live on Yogajournal! Are you the teacher or the therapist? Doing this kind of work is what I live for!

While it’s easy for teachers to get sucked into conversations about student's off-the-mat problems, it can be tricky to know what to offer in response.

It's been almost a year since I posted on this page. That's because time goes fast when you're having fun. I just did some updates to my website. How do you like my photos?

This post is going viral, and I love it because: "Yoga doesn’t care if you smoke ci******es, and drink whisky."

Here's the rest.

"Yoga isn’t about our lifestyle, our beliefs, our weight, our diet, our flexibility, how spiritual or enlightened we are—yoga is just about showing up and doing our dance on our mats.

Yoga doesn’t care what your hair looks like.

Yoga doesn’t care if you wear Lululemon or Spiritual Gangster.

Yoga doesn’t care if you are vegetarian, if you eat meat or know what Kombucha is.

Yoga doesn’t care when the last time you practiced was—yesterday, six months ago, never.

Yoga doesn’t care what kind of mat you have, brand new or eating away at itself.

Yoga doesn’t care if you show up cranky or exhausted.

Yoga doesn’t care what religion you believe in.

Yoga doesn’t care what color your skin is or what gender you choose to love.

Yoga doesn’t care how much money you have, what house you live in, what car you drive.

Yoga doesn’t care if you are flexible.

Yoga doesn’t care if you fart during practice.

Yoga doesn’t care if you ever make it into head stand.

Yoga doesn’t care if you feel uncomfortable saying Namaste and Om.

Yoga doesn’t care if you drink super food smoothies or coconut water.

Yoga doesn’t care if choose the back corner or the front row of the room to practice.

Yoga doesn’t care if you stay to meditate.

Yoga doesn’t care if you can put your leg behind your head.

Yoga doesn’t care if you know what Ujjayi breath is.

Yoga doesn’t care if you smoke ci******es, and drink whisky.

Yoga doesn’t care if you need to leave class halfway through because you’re dehydrated and need to get water.

Yoga doesn’t care if you have a man bun.

Yoga doesn’t care if you juice or cleanse.

Yoga doesn’t care if you spend the entire class in child’s pose.

Yoga doesn’t care what political party you vote for.

Yoga doesn’t care if you are single or divorced.

Yoga doesn’t care if you like Rumi.

Yoga doesn’t care if you like your teacher.

Yoga doesn’t care if you complete a 30 day challenge.

Yoga doesn’t care what version of wheel you go up into.

Yoga doesn’t care if you shop at Whole Foods.

Yoga doesn’t care if you remember to shave your armpits.

Yoga is just happy you show up."

We shouldn't worry so much about our weight. If there is one gift I could give to my yoga students it would be this: Disordered eating habits and obsessions are so not worth the time and trouble. Healthy weight has a range of about 20 pounds. And your happiness when you give up this anxiety has no bounds.
