Yoga on the Mat A yoga class is more than a series of physical postures. We might begin with seated meditation, breathwork, or a little yoga philosophy before moving into our asana practice. Along the way, we build strength, mobility, and balance, but we also cultivate awareness, concentration, and the ability to be present with our experience. And we finish with Savasana—not simply as a reward for working hard, but as an important part of the practice itself. These elements are what make yoga more than stretching or exercise. They give us opportunities to practice paying attention, both on and off the mat. #YogaPractice #YogaBeyondAsana #YogaColumbiaMO

A meaningful weekend supporting two organizations doing important work in our community. 💜 Saturday evening was the @combatboots.highheels Light the Night Gala, where we came together to support women service members and veterans and raise awareness around veteran suicide prevention. Sunday, I had the opportunity to lead some gentle yoga and stretching at the Out of the Darkness Walk, hosted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention @afspmissouri Two different events, both reminders of the importance of connection, community, and showing up for one another. Grateful to be part of both. 💜 #CombatBootsAndHighHeels #OutOfTheDarknessWalk #SuicidePrevention #ColumbiaMO #CommunityYoga

A lot of yoga happens between the poses. The way we step forward. The moment we choose to slow down. The breath we take before moving again. Transitions aren’t just a way to get from one pose to the next. They’re part of the practice, offering opportunities to notice how we’re moving, where we’re holding tension, and whether we’re paying attention. Next time you practice, try slowing down between poses. See what you notice. #yogaeducation #mindfulmovement #yogapractice #yogateaching #columbiamo

The practice should serve the person—not the other way around. That idea is foundational to how I practice, how I teach, and how I think about yoga education. My approach is rooted in the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya and T.K.V. Desikachar, whose work emphasized adapting yoga to the individual rather than asking every person to fit the same practice. In teaching, that means observing the person in front of you, understanding the intention behind what you're teaching, and making thoughtful choices rather than simply repeating a sequence. Because becoming a teacher isn’t just about learning what to teach. It’s learning to understand why. #FoundationsOfFlow #YogaTeacherTraining #YogaPhilosophy #YogaEducation

Learning to teach yoga is about more than memorizing poses or sequences. It’s learning to understand movement, how breath and movement work together, and how to communicate clearly with the person in front of you. Bodies move differently. A cue that works well for one student may not work for another. Learning to observe, adapt, and offer useful options is part of becoming a skilled teacher. Learning to teach yoga means understanding not only what to teach, but how to see and respond to the students we're actually teaching. #YogaTeacherTraining #YogaTeacherTrainingMissouri #ColumbiaMO #YogaEducation

You learn to teach by teaching. That’s something I knew I wanted to build into Foundations of Flow from the beginning. Starting in the first week, trainees will practice teaching aloud — first in small pieces, then gradually building toward longer sequences as the training progresses. Every Saturday includes time to teach, observe, receive feedback, and try again. Because confidence doesn’t come from knowing every cue or having the perfect sequence. It comes from practice. From learning to really see the people in front of you. From finding the words that are clear and useful. And from becoming more comfortable using your own voice. Foundations of Flow is designed to give you the knowledge you need to teach — and plenty of opportunities to actually practice doing it.

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what I want a new yoga teacher to understand before stepping in front of a room. Not just how to sequence a class, but how to understand why you’re asking someone to move a certain way. How breath shapes the practice. How to give clear, useful cues without filling every second with words. And how yoga philosophy can actually inform the way we teach and live, rather than simply becoming something we memorize. Those ideas are at the heart of Foundations of Flow. I want this training to give future teachers a strong foundation while also teaching them to think, question, practice, and eventually find their own voice as a teacher.

Grateful for the opportunity to spend time with lululemon Ambassadors from across the region today, connecting, reflecting and thinking intentionally about what’s next. We spent some time working through our purpose, vision and goals, and mine feels especially meaningful right now: leading my first 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about not just what I want to teach, but the kind of teachers I hope to help develop. My goal is to create a thoughtful, high-quality training that helps aspiring teachers feel comfortable in their own skin and confident teaching from a grounded, authentic place. So good to step away from the day-to-day, put it on paper, and share space with people doing meaningful work in their own communities. ❤️ Thank you, lululemon, for continuing to invest in connection and community. #lululemonambassador #community #visionandgoals

Community yoga is back! 🤍 Such a fun morning moving, breathing, and connecting together at lululemon. So grateful to everyone who showed up, rolled out a mat, and shared their practice with me. There’s something pretty special about making space to move together — and I loved getting to be part of bringing community yoga back to the Columbia store. Thank you, @lululemon, for creating space for community, movement, and connection. ❤️ #lululemonambassador #communityyoga #columbiamo #yogacommunitylove #thesweatlife

Spent some time on the mat with the Missouri Valley University Women’s Volleyball team! 🏐🧘‍♀️ We moved, stretched, worked together, and definitely laughed a lot. I love bringing yoga into a team setting—not just for the movement, but for the chance to slow down, connect, and do something a little different together. Such a fun group to spend the afternoon with. Wishing these women an amazing season ahead! 🧡💜 #MissouriValleyUniversity #WomensVolleyball #CollegeAthletics #YogaForAthletes #lululemonambassador

Grateful to spend the afternoon with another cohort of MU Health Care nursing residents as part of their wellness program. The first year of nursing brings so much learning, responsibility, and change. I appreciate that their residency program makes space for wellness alongside clinical training. It was a privilege to share a few simple practices they can hopefully return to on the hard days and on the good ones alike. Thank you to all of the nurses and healthcare professionals who care for our communities every day. It was an honor to spend time with you. 📷 Photo by @joebulger #HealthcareWellness #NursingResidents #WorkplaceWellness #BreathCentered #MindfulLeadership
