QUESTION: What inspires you to teach?

Love. Pure and simple. Nothing more and nothing less.

I am not teaching this sacred practice because of ego. I am not teaching this sacred practice to make money. I have been called to teach this sacred practice because of my love and compassion for humanity.

And I have seen miracles unfold.

I have had to honor of bearing witness to the miraculous birthing of peace, of harmony, of laughter and of immense love. I have seen the shedding of the I-ego gently being embraced by the grace of acceptance in my students' lives. Whether they're in the film and music industry or on the verge of being homeless, whether they are blissfully in love or suffering through a horrific divorce, whether they're healthy and seeking balance or needing some pain relief as a result of disease and the medication prescribed . . . they are all one humanity to me. I love them just the same. And I have seen their miracle as I held their hands, as I assisted them safely into a pose, as I helped them find breathing to facilitate a reduction of stress in their lives and as I embraced them with love in learning how to really "let go and let God." I have been there for them and will continue to be until my last breath here on this earth.

There is simply no word or phrase that describes the experience when I look into the eyes of their soul and "feel" their gratitude for the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga program. Knowing that yoga is the ultimate path to enlightenment, they have informed me, without a question of doubt, that it was NOT just the sacred practice of yoga, but that it was of THIS form of instruction.

I feel like I "fall into the gap" every time I teach. Whether it is with a class or in a private session, I feel that I am working with God and for God and that this is such a profound honor that I have been called to teach this . . . and perhaps even more important, that I actually, listened.


Where do you teach?

I teach in Malibu and Beverly Hills, California, and wherever else I am called to serve. And as of February, I'll be continuing my training in a 500-hour yoga teacher training with Shiva Rea.

At this point, I plan on designing two yoga programs, one of which will be to reach out to gang members in Los Angeles. A huge undertaking, but I feel that this is a mission that must be accomplished. By instilling the conscious level of awareness of peace through nonviolent communication and judgment, a shift will take place and the change that we wish to see will become a reality.

The second yoga program will be a Christian-based program that I will take to various churches, training teachers in how to offer instruction in the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga and to offer it as a gift to their communities. This will also be a part of a workshop that I will be guiding for couples who have gone through, or are currently going through a separation or divorce.

One of my goals is to open a green, totally eco-based yoga studio that incorporates a variety of healing therapies, infusing them with centuries-old, proven healing techniques. I plan to donate 10 percent of all the profits to horse-rescue operations.
