It’s late, I’m tired and my mind began to come up with at least a dozen reasons why I could “take today off”.... but I realized this was more than just taking a break. It was not following through with what I told myself I was going to do. It was letting myself down, and finding an exit door. Today I chose to do the thing I said I was going to. Showing up and doing what you say is important. Without judgement, without excuse., just taking action.

My teacher, Pattabhi Jois used to say, “Do your practice and all is coming.” I used to wonder if he understood the question being asked, or if something was getting lost in the translation. I now know he knew exactly what he meant. This practice works, but you have to show up and so it. I’ve regularly have clients report decreased depression and anxiety. Imagine the day when yoga is prescribed to help those with those conditions!

Sometimes you are called to reach even when you don’t want to, or when you’ve had a challenging day. Showing up fully isn’t always easy. Once I even had to take a kitten with me... unfortunately it wasn’t a fun yoga with kittens event.

For me, success meant not having to rely on anyone else. After losing my Dad, and any inheritance I was promised, I set out to create my own financial security. However faced with the realization my job was literally making me sick, I knew I had to find another way. Living as a yoga teacher wasn’t going to pay the bills, so I needed a Plan B.
