Yoga, as a living practice rooted in breath, invites us to take the posture of compassionate witness where we can look honestly at ourselves, cringing at times, but keeping our eyes and heart open as a welcoming presence. When I am rooted in this practice, I am able to see each student as whole, remembering that I am not ‘healing’ anyone, but gifted with the privilege of witnessing transformation, sensing inner harmony as the inner divides soften through collective, outer flow. 

Bearing witness to Emily’s journey gives me hope for humanity.

“With everything in our world that might encourage us to rush through life, how can we slow down and say NO to more out there in order to make space for receiving? […] The NOurishment is always here for us. May we slow down, pause and increase our capacity for receiving.”
