PERFECTION IS EXHAUSTING & IT'S NOT EVEN FUN  (This week's newsletter was written a student, an aspiring yoga teacher in training and a definition of divinity, Jillian Oddo) Perfect. It’s something we all strive to be because society tells us to be. I’ve always wanted to be perfect, constantly looking up to people and things. Well, if I could just look like this or have this to wear or talk like this then I’ll be perfect. I’ve had this word on my mind for the past month. It’s been a common theme in my practice and a casual synchronicity within my personal life. Many of us have an idea of what “perfect” looks like whether it’s on or off our mats. Looking at our neighbors; lengthy leg extension, advanced pose variation or stellar balance, it’s difficult to not watch, but it puts an unrealistic pressure on ourselves. When I can do that pose, when I can balance for that long or when my body looks like that, I’ll be the PERFECT yogi. This has been my whole practice. And I JUST realized! I was trying so hard to be something on my mat that I forgot it’s MY MAT. It’s MINE. It’s MY PRACTICE. Vic says: It’s YOUR YOGA. I never allowed myself to do what I wanted and what my body needed. And damn it, I want to play. It took me two months to write this because I was so focused on making it perfect. I challenge you to forget the P word (I’m trying to) and do what you want on and off the mat. You deserve to let go of the expectations and just be YOU…cause you’re pretty great.

A PEEK INTO MENTORSHIP WITH VICYASA™... Many prospective teachers, graduates of teacher training(s) and a handful of you that have a desire just to dive deeper into the many aspects of a yoga practice and teaching yoga regularly have been impacted greatly by our bespoke mentoring program. Mentorship sessions can include sharing the exact experience lived, the practical wisdom I and other teachers have gained from our journey in their domain. We are highly skilled at directing strategies and processes that can sometimes transfer across different contexts. Yoga is a journey as much as a practice. In fact, it's a journey that should never end. Those of us on that journey should be open to learning new things. We should be open to new experiences. That is what mentorship offers. It's an opportunity for a more experienced yoga teacher to share their experiences with you. I am willing to work with anyone on a 1:1 basis or mini-group. There will be suggestions for your practice/teachings, you get a catered to you manual with loads of vital information and to take notes and record your questions or concerns. I will curate a personalized practice for you, based on your interest, needs, questions and situation. You then take this practice into your own life. What you discovered, felt, experienced, or learned through the lens of our personal practice will then create the context for potential offerings or paths you take whether in your personal or business life. The practices may be adapted, changed, modified, or added to. This relationship is important for professionalized yoga teachers. It’s important because as we dive into the industry we often muddy the waters between ‘teaching’ and ‘personal path.' Furthermore the environment of the yoga industry can be difficult to navigate. No one should try to do it on their own. What if you're not a teacher and would like to prepare for training or enhance your ever-hungry-desire to absorb all things yoga? Holla' at me. Feel like your 200 hour training ended with you needing more questions answered? Want to expand on those teachings? Do you feel like there are areas of your teaching repertoire that need enhancing?
