Why I Really Teach Yoga

I teach yoga because I believe in your capacity to be extraordinary. I believe in your ability to feel clear and strong. I trust that you already know who you are and you know what you want. I trust that you know what you need to be happy. I have a sense that you are blocking yourself from realizing your potential. You are weighed down by life circumstances and entrapped by your thoughts. You are bombarded 24/7 with information about what to believe and how to live. You are overloaded with stuff to carry both in your mind and in your heart causing you to lose access to the answers that emerge from your center.

Fearlessness—what does it mean and how does one attain it? Over the years, I’ve searched and studied it. I’ve yearned to embody it. I’ve sensed fearlessness at times but never really believed that I had the capacity to fully embrace it. Others were fearless, I simply read about it. Spiritual teacher, Adyashanti, says that fearlessness
