To my colleagues and fellow leaders, I am honored. Being able to team with Yoga Journal on this informative piece means sharing the wisdom I have learned in over a decade of study, teaching, and service in this field… and that feels fulfilling.
To the practice of peace, from the inside out!

Big thank you to @fox26houston for featuring Phoenix and celebrating her journey to becoming @guinnessworldrecords youngest certified yoga teacher.
Watch the full interview and celebrate this moment with us!
History rarely announces itself quietly.
Sometimes it looks like a single person stepping onto a stage… while an entirely new conversation begins behind them.
June 14, I’ll be standing on the TEDx stage in Houston, in Third Ward, sharing a message I believe is meant to travel far beyond that room.
If something in you feels called to witness it live comment TEDX and I’ll send you ticket details.

This isn’t a yoga quote.
It’s documented neuroscience. And it’s the idea I’m bringing to the TEDx stage on June 14. Are you coming?

Life used to feel dark, overwhelming and stressful.
Luckily, someone invited me to yoga. My life has been better ever since. 🙌🏽
this could be your sign to invite somebody to Yoga. Or if you’ve never been to accept someone’s invitation.

PS: if you need a place to practice Yoga, I teach classes on YouTube. This is your invitation to start with what you have.
Comment TedX for in IRL exclusive access.
More than half of the tickets have already been purchased and we still have only about 30 days until the talk.
So get your tickets for the historic in person talk and I’ll see you there🙌🏽
If you are out of town, or otherwise unable to make it… The recording release date will be announced in the future.

PS. Did you know that @thesherylleeralph did a Ted Talk? Go watch it if you haven’t! 😍
This is Not a real class. But it could be.
more yoga teachers teaching their students on a one-on-one basis would mean that clients would have flexibility for their goals that dependent on gas prices or location.

Lupus diagnosis at 19 years old after my freshman, Rice university studying engineering.
I was stressing because I was living a life that I didn’t enjoy. And I was forcing myself to do it to be impressive on the outside.
Leading in yoga and loving what I do has improved my health. I don’t have to take eight 💊 a day like I used to. I don’t take any.
I imagine if more people felt like this, then more people would be nice to themselves and each other. Then we’d be able to watch the news again… One day there will be good news for us to watch.
