Self-care is so underrated in our society. I hear people bragging all the time about how they’re working a double at work, putting in 12, 14 or 16 hours days. I hear people boasting themselves for not being able to remember the last time they took a day off from work. We’re constantly in a […] Read more…
Yesterday was another big milestone in my yoga teaching journey. I celebrated the one-year anniversary of teaching my first yoga class, a candlelight Hot Power Fusion class at Corepower Yoga. The whole day was one big celebration. In the morning, I taught my biggest class yet, a Yoga Sculpt class with 36 yogis! We rocked […] Read more…
This week marks the one year anniversary of when I auditioned to teach Hot Power Fusion at Corepower Yoga. I remember the night of my audition like it was yesterday. Every time I think about this experience, the nervous jitters come back immediately. I was already so scared, but what I didn’t know ahead of […] Read more…
Out of all the yoga teacher trainings I’ve done over the last couple of years, Yoga Sculpt teacher training at Corepower Yoga has been my favorite teacher training so far. This is quite a statement for me because when I started my first yoga teacher training, I was obsessed with Bikram Yoga. After my initial […] Read more…
In yoga teacher training, a good portion of the training included learning yoga postures, how to cue and practice teaching. The other part of teacher training included learning about yoga philosophy. It was in the 200-Hour Hot Power Fusion Teacher Training I did last year at CorePower Yoga, where I learned all about Santosha, which […] Read more…
A couple of years ago, I heard one of my favorite Bikram Yoga teachers tell us as we settled into our first belly-up Savasana in class, “Don’t be afraid to let go of things that no longer serve you.” This was the first time ever in my yoga practice where I really listened to what […] Read more…
Each week for my classes, I put together a new playlist and a new intention. Not only does this keep class fresh for my students, but keeps me present for the classes I teach. I always go with an intention and playlist that speaks to me for that week, depending on whatever may be going […] Read more…
Ferris Bueller said it best, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.” This has been a reoccurring theme in my life over the last few months. Professionally, I’ve had some pretty big, back-to-back projects at work I’ve had to tackle. Personally, I decided to […] Read more…
Last week I experienced a huge milestone in my yoga teaching career…I taught my first class! This time, it wasn’t teacher training or volunteering my time to teach a class. I was legitimately on the schedule and getting paid to teach an hour-long class to 16 yogis. 16!! Let me back up a bit. At […] Read more…
Countless hours of preparation – attending training classes after work, memorizing cues, practice teaching, studying postures and learning and practicing giving hands-on adjustments during postures – all came to a head for me on Monday night. I auditioned to teach Hot Power Fusion at CorePower Yoga. I feel like so much was built up into […] Read more…
Before I decided to sign up for yoga teacher training at CorePower Yoga, I did my fair share of research. I checked out other yoga teacher trainings in the area, based on location, schedule availability, price and the style of yoga studied. Since I’m a huge Bikram Yoga fan, I knew I wanted to go […] Read more…
Today was a milestone in my yoga teacher training journey. We hosted a Hot Power Fusion community class this afternoon at the CorePower Yoga Greenwood studio. I got to teach half of it! Normally in a bigger sized group for the Extensions Program, I’d only get to teach a small portion of the community class, […] Read more…
