Intuitive Yoga Style

There’s this ever-growing obsession with wellness and the pursuit of perfect health and balance, don’t you think? Everywhere you turn, there's a new trend or a new "must-do" that promises to unlock the ultimate state of well-being. But here’s the thing: does it ever feel like too much? Does the pressure to achieve this "perfect" version of health ever weigh on you? Do you find yourself wondering, “Am I doing enough yoga?” Or is it that the pressure to practice perfectly becomes its own kind of stress?

I get it—I've been there. In fact, I've put so much pressure on myself to meet my yoga goals over the years, pushing for an hour-long session every day, feeling like I was failing if I didn’t hit that mark. But why? Why do we set these rigid expectations for ourselves? Through my practise over the past 15 years, I began to realize something profound: Yoga isn’t about perfection. It’s not about doing it for a specific amount of time or hitting some ideal posture. Yoga is part of me, no matter whether I roll out my mat every day or whether weeks go by without a single session.

And that's the beauty of it. Yoga isn’t a destination; it’s a practise, a mindset. I’ve learned that I can infuse yoga into my life in so many simple, beautiful ways—without pressure, without expectations. Some days it’s just a moment of mindful breath, a stretch in the morning, or a pause in the evening. Other days, I get to savor an undisturbed extended practice, and let me tell you, that deep surrender is nothing short of divine and often brings real tears of joy or release!

As a mother now, I’ve realized that yoga doesn’t have to look a certain way. Micro-moments of yoga are enough. Life is full, and I embrace it all, knowing that even in the busiest of days, a moment of mindfulness or a few gentle stretches can keep me grounded. But when I do get the space for a longer practice, it’s like a gift I treasure deeply.

The truth is, yoga is a deeply personal journey. It’s not about comparing yourself to others or striving for an ideal that doesn’t serve you. And as women, we need to remember that yoga was created with men’s bodies in mind—not necessarily ours. That’s why I embrace a more compassionate and adaptable approach to my practice and teaching.

Through yoga, I've learned to embrace self-compassion. I've learned to extend that same grace to others when they need it most. Whether you're effortlessly flowing into Sirsa Padasana or simply grounding yourself in Mountain pose, I want you to remember this: in my classes, you are your best guide. Listen to your body—it will always tell you what it needs. I’m here to support you with with zero judgement, helping you feel confident, supported, and connected on your path.
