Trends aren't the enemy. Some are delightful. Some make me LOL.
 

The trouble starts when I stop noticing the line between inspiration and imitation, when I catch myself doing something just because it's everywhere.
That's when it's time to pause.

This is the heart of how I teach. Whether it's yoga asana, childbirth education, or figuring out how to parent in a way that feels honest. I don't believe in one right way.

What I believe in is helping people notice what's real for them… and move from there.

And that got me thinking about inventory. How often do we stop and collect data on our own lives? Sure, we can hang our diplomas on the wall, or let our photo albums collect dust, but what about our yoga practice?

Studying Iyengar Yoga brought my shortcut-loving self right back to life. Hello, props! A block or chair can recreate a pose so you feel the effect without the initial strain. Even Teddy from accounting, who comes to class once a week (except during tax season), can access the benefits.
