do what you love
I live a blessed life.
Not the easy life, but easy lives rarely create great people.
I’m lucky. Here’s why: because I started practicing asana long before selfies and the internet transformed yoga and astrology into massive industries.
Then my practice grew, beyond asana.
My first astrologer was from Greece. Working with her was how I gave myself permission to wander around the globe, exploring.
I earned a Master of Arts degree in Philosophy and served on the Liberal Arts faculty at a private university for several years. Meanwhile I was teaching yoga classes and leading wellness retreats. Certifications in yoga include Svaroopa®; Embodyment® Yoga Therapy and Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy®.
I was a charter member of Yoga Alliance (decades ago) and was among the first-ever Experienced Registered Yoga Teachers (E-RYT); Continuing Education Providers (YACEP); and Certified Yoga Therapists (CYT). After decades of paying into their system, I left Yoga Alliance after (1) they didn’t allow astrology to count as continuing education, but then later (2) Yoga Alliance did allow astrology to count, but only Vedic Astrology, then later (3) they dropped the ball again by allowing people who knew little to nothing about astrology to keep track of their Vedic-Western-Astrology debacle. It’s not easy being the one(s) in charge. I get it.
