Yoga is a healing system to practice the union of body and mind. Being a yogi means using my intelligence wisely. But becoming a yoga teacher isn’t the same as being a yoga teacher. 

Becoming a yogi was the decision to shift my perception of reality. 

I kept the non-negotiables and dropped everything else. I studied with the masters, took out credit cards to pay for courses, traveled on retreats, humbled myself to feedback, modeled LuLulemon clothes in the store window to fill my closet. Whatever it took.

Being a yogi meant all the internal shadow work.

Therapy, spiritual mentorship, cleaning up diet, lifestyle, relationships, and taking accountability. It was vulnerable, awkward.

Showing up, making money, becoming aware of  generational trauma, cultural indoctrination, lack of clarity while also honoring ancestral lineage, indigenous medicines, and gifts that actually led to my true commitment.

Now here’s where it got interesting. 

The actual healing period meant I would take those tools and attach to my new team of well-wishers to turn it all into daily rituals. I would do that for 21 days at a time. After a week of feeling that integration as my new reality I was a new person. That’s who manifested my husband, certification school, on-line business, private mentorship, baby, home, community, etc.

The pain never went away. 

External circumstances evolve. Growth never stops. The damn-pan(dem)ic affected me, and I had to work through fear again. Grief, again. Confidence dipped again. Isolation, depression, the need to re-identify ensued. But now I had the best process in the world to bring me back to the beginning. 

This shi(f)t rocks.

This is the system that has me radiating positivity like a magnet for magnificent relationships, projects and power as an educator, wife, mother, sister, friend and colleague.

Soul Mapping is Resilience.

It’s how I bounce back better. I’m giving it away by connecting my amazing community of healers, leaders, and seekers doing the same work.

This is spiritual badassery. Hope to see you there.xx

In clarity, flow and love,
