The Yogi's Toolbox

In 2016, after nearly two decades in the yoga world, I walked away from teaching asana. I had been pouring myself into a 1000 Days of Ucchāra Practice, deepening into Yoga with a Capital T—awakening and liberation—but something had shifted.

For years, yoga studios were my sanctuary. They were where I found my people, my place. But over time, I began to feel like an outsider. I didn’t fit in. I didn’t have the “right” outfit, the “right” accessories, the “right” anything. So, I quit.

I stepped away from the studio, leaving asana behind, and retreated to my home practice. I thought I’d never teach in a studio again.

But in 2024, when I moved back to Canada, I discovered Shala Yoga Studio. 

And within weeks, I was back on the schedule, back in love with the yoga community.

It took me a while, but I realized something: 

In 2016, I’d felt betrayed, disappointed, and let down by the industry—but that was all my stuff.

What I saw then still exists today, but now, it doesn’t trigger me. It inspires me. 

I discovered I'd grown enough as a teacher through my dedicated sādhāna & study to stay true to my yoga roots while teaching within a studio context. GOLD!

I realized if I wanted the yoga community to feel like home, I had to step up & contribute to making it a place where awakening & liberation are the foundation of teaching - even in commercial studios.

I also realized something even bigger: Many teachers feel the same way I did. 

They long to bring deeper teachings into the studio, but they don’t know how. 

They want community, but they’re unsure where to find it. 

They crave being seen, supported, and mentored on the path—but most teacher trainings don’t offer that.

That’s when the vision for Apprenticeship was born.

I know how to infuse the deeper teachings of awakening & liberation within a studio context. 

I've shown up to my daily sādhāna for two decades - even as a single parent, running a business and with all that entails. 

I’ve built a community, both in-person and online, that stretches across the globe. And most importantly, I know how to see, support, & guide teachers like you on the path to freedom.

I can teach you to teach in the way you KNOW is possible, but don't know how to get to.

I can guide you in your daily sādhāna so it supports your awakening & liberation process, ensuring that you can teach from embodied liberation because you're LIVING the practices & teachings. 

I can guide you in all the other aspects of being a yoga teacher or facilitator in the 21st century, including everything from financial planning, parenting and relationship as the path. 

I care about Yoga, as I know you do too. 

Together, we can raise the bar and bring modern practice back onto the true Path of Yoga.

We are the ones who will make this change. And we are the ones who can do it together.
