Why, After All These Years?
Twelve years ago, I set out to teach yoga in a way that went beyond the physical postures—beyond the aesthetics, beyond the superficial promise of flexibility and fitness. I wanted to guide people into a deeper experience of themselves, into true embodiment. Over the years, my teacher training has evolved into something profound: a journey of functional movement, somatic healing, and intuitive connection. A process of remembering who we really are.
The Path to Embodiment
At its core, yoga is a practice of coming home to the body. But true embodiment is more than just moving well—it’s about feeling, listening, and attuning to the wisdom that lives within us. Functional movement and somatic healing offer a gateway into this process. They help us unwind the layers of tension, trauma, and habitual patterns that keep us disconnected from ourselves. When we move in ways that honor our bodies' natural intelligence, we reclaim lost parts of ourselves. We become whole again.
Embodiment isn’t just about movement; it’s about presence. The more we drop into our bodies, the more we develop a deep and honest relationship with our essential self—our intuition. And intuition is not just a feeling; it is our internal compass, guiding us toward joy, peace, love, and true happiness.
Expanding Joy and Love Into the World
When we reconnect with our intuition, we begin to live in alignment with what truly nourishes us. We make choices that support our well-being. We cultivate relationships that honor our deepest values. And because we are interconnected beings, our personal healing ripples outward. The more we live in joy, the more we spread joy. The more we cultivate peace within, the more we bring peace to our families, our communities, and beyond.
This is why I teach. This is why I have dedicated over a decade to training others in this work. Yoga—when taught through the lens of functional movement and somatic healing—isn’t just a personal practice; it is a revolutionary act. In a world that constantly pulls us away from ourselves, slowing down to listen to our bodies is an act of defiance. Choosing self-care in a culture of burnout is radical. And embracing true happiness—not the fleeting kind, but the deep, soul-nourishing kind—is a profound way to change the world.
A Call to Revolution
Every year, I witness the transformation of students who enter my training searching for something beyond poses and leave with an unshakable sense of self. They become more intuitive, more compassionate, more attuned to their purpose. And as they step back into their communities, they carry this embodied wisdom with them. They become catalysts for healing, connection, and change.
This is why I continue to teach, and why I will keep teaching for as long as I am able. Because true embodiment is not just personal—it is collective. And when enough of us reconnect with our essential selves, we will change the world.
This is the work. This is the revolution.
