"Keep my head down, don't make any friends, and be back to my normal unhealthy patterns by nightfall so I could drive around to people's houses and do private yoga sessions with them all day long. Yup, that's what I thought yoga teacher training would be like and thank goodness, nothing in my plan came to fruition. What life had in store was so much greater and I just love to share my story because I still can't believe how lucky I am!"

"When the program was over, I was on my own with my newly earned certificate (and very green teaching skills).  Teaching a class on my own was a sink or swim situation, and I did a lot of sinking as I tried to figure out how to actually apply what I had learned without any guidance.   Fortunately, I was determined enough to keep venturing into the water. I started teaching at Cambio in 2009, and here I received an amazing level of support and mentorship from many people in this teaching community.  I honed my skills in sequencing, adjusting, language, and I over time I learned to teach with confidence and grace."
