This past August I was presented with the opportunity to travel to Wyoming, and work with the online yoga website Yoga Today.

I've been meaning to blog about it for months... it's almost mid October now. This intense procrastination has mostly been fueled by my inability to find the right words to accurately paint the fantastic people I met and experiences I had that week. There is much to say, but I've decided that I am going to keep it simple and let some of the photos do the talking for me.

In retrospect, part of me wishes that I would have had the time and discipline to journal my experiences as I was living them. On the flip side of that, I feel that sometimes it's better to stay out of your head, away from paper and pens and over contemplation--- c.o.m.p.l.e.t.e.l.y --- and simply be IN those great moments one hundred percent. And that's what I did.

Although I cannot reveal much about the content, and have no clue when the yoga classes will be released, I can say that teaching yoga in front of the camera and out in the wild is one of the most challenging things I've ever done as an instructor. It quite different than teaching in a studio/private setting. When teaching a class in a studio or group setting, there are so many things to balance and juggle. When teaching in front of a camera and in the wild, there are 100,000 more such things! To be frank, returning to the studio, at least that first week, seemed like a piece of cake! This experienced most certainly made me a better instructor ... and humbled me to the core! ha ha

I want to thank Kim, Rich, Sunny, and everyone else who took such great care of me while I was there, and truly made me feel at home. I was not ready to leave Jackson when time time came (which is maybe why I accidentally missed my flight and had to stay another day - ha ha).

Thank you, thank you, thank you a 100,000,000x to the Yoga Today team! (Also, big thank you to my friend Ashley, who connected me to Kim. I am very grateful!) I look forward to the day that I am able to visit again. Enjoy the photos. I guarantee if you have not been there before, they will make you want to visit!

Trying to capture the immense stillness!
That's a lot of love all at once.






Early morning outside the Yoga Today Van. This is my favorite photo.
