As we enter into another season, we notice the changes in and around us.Tatiana opens up about "checkin in with ourselves." She speaks about how one may be pushing beyond limits, setbacks, and the stigma of success. She mentions how "we thrive within our own Being," and how we advocate for ourselves.

Tatiana opens up to us about her story and explains the need for understanding each other’s differences as a way to celebrate ourselves because of these differences and the liberation that creates harmony within diversity.

Yoga is a journey, not a destination. It takes time to find the right
