In this episode, I'm the guest!
This is my first, off-the-cuff episode. Non-scripted, just a from-the-heart thank you to my teachers, my trainings and my willingness to keep learning and growing.
Honestly, the yoga is the easy part as I love my practice and it's ever evolving surprises. The hard part is learning how to share it virtually and all the technology involved.
There is usually a daily outburst of complete frustration when attempting to learn how to build a better website, increase my e-mail list or create engaging content. Even writing these show notes comes with an amount of insecurity...
Does anyone even read them?
Am I wasting my time?
Will it make a difference?
I don't have the answers but I continue to have faith that consistency leads to positive outcomes, the same as yoga practice.
I've been inspired by so many dedicated and knowledgeable yoga teachers.
What I teach and share with my students is in many ways a smorgasbord of all their teachings.
My yoga library is packed with binders of trainings from teachers of all different disciplines. I frequently re-visit the binders, the many books with highlighted passages, the sequences, the modifications, the philosophy, the anatomy and still take away something new or fresh.
It's never too late to start pursuing what you love, finding purpose and making the most of your life.
Stop saying, "I'm to old."
Start saying, "Let's get started!"
