Hit a pretty exciting goal recently. Didn’t even know it was a goal in all honesty til I realized I had hit it. I’m officially an E-RYT 200 and RYT 500 yoga instructor. Basically it means I’ve studied and taught A LOT of yoga and now I get the honor of sharing what I’ve learned from some of the greatest teachers ever in teaching form to other teachers if I so desire. Who knows where this will lead. Remember when I started this journey I wasn’t ever going to teach. I guess the lesson is - never say never. ✨

Now THIS is a throwback! My 30th birthday in Italy with my husband, Dev. 😍

Devon and I met in college when I was 19 and he was 21, so we've known each other for 23 years now (woah). He transferred into my school as a senior and we were in the same music theory class. Funny enough…we actually met because I was STRUGGLING and Devon was ACING the class. Ha! 🤪

Naturally, I asked him to tutor me. Little did I know Devon had taken the class before. TWICE. This was his third time. The first time he failed (whoops), the second he passed but it didn't transfer so he had to take it again.

…I of course just thought he was a genius. 🤷‍♀️

He tutored me all semester and I cooked for him when he came over. Win/win. He held onto his little secret until we were engaged and he finally said, "well I guess I need to tell you something.... "

It's honestly one of my favorite stories about us. Always makes me laugh. This was the start of our incredible friendship, as I was dating someone else at the time. However, that didn't last long, as our friendship was stronger than any dating relationship I had. And the rest if history. ❤️❤️

Today marks two months since Lavandula was released! 😲 I’m still pinching myself. It’s both so terrifying yet rewarding to put your heart and soul out there for everyone to listen.

Whether it’s to help you push through a workout, calm your mind with a few minutes of meditation or inspire you to move your body in a yoga flow, I hope this music helps you in some way. You can listen through the link in my bio! 🎧🎼

There are so many women that have gone before me that inspire me daily. I think the most profound woman in the forefront of my mind right now has to be Harriet Tubman.

Obviously we all know what a tremendous impact she had on the precious people suffering from wrongful and evil racism and slavery.

She was a hero in the true sense of the word.

And she was so much more. Yes, she was a pivotal and intricate part of what we know: the Underground Railroad.

But you see I believe she was even more than that. She struggled with so many internal things. Judgements from those around her, fear, you name it. What impresses me most about Harriet is she never wavered from who she was and the purpose and call on her life. They could call her any name out there and still she remained strong.

She didn’t have to go back and risk everything the way she did over and over again. She chose to.

Her faith strong, her vision clear, her purpose ever present. She was a woman of immediate action and extreme faith and trust. She loved at all cost. She risked it all for this one precious life. ❤

These are just some of the characteristics I want to live out. She truly was a remarkable woman. ✨
