do it before you're ready

Have you thought about doing your teacher training?

It felt like the skies opened up and light was shining on me. Cue angelic music.

My teacher and friend Jean Hall was inviting me to her yoga teacher training. 

I had been her student for years and was seriously committed to her classes at triyoga in Primrose Hill.

So when Jean promoted her retreat, it was a no-brainer. I booked a spot.

It was a magical weekend that changed my life. 

But it wasn’t an immediate yes to her invitation. 

I was so in love with the practice and worried that becoming a yoga teacher would change that. 

And I also thought, I’m totally not ready yet. 

I wasn’t, but I did it anyway. I trusted her and I trusted myself. 

After 2 years of training I graduated in 2012 and much to my surprise, started teaching part-time right away.

There have been some detours, including a redundancy from my corporate job, but here I am teaching yoga full time, and about to host my first retreat.

And it’s such a gift, all of it.

Thank you Jean for seeing something in me. For helping me build that inner trust, so I could feel the fear, but do it anyway.

That’s our cohort and the now closed triyoga Soho.
