“ I moved to Burlington to begin teacher training and my inner judge crept back in. I struggled. I wasn’t at the same physical level as others in my training and I was overweight. At this point I had lived at both Kripalu and Integral Yoga Ashram where I don’t recall feeling so self conscious. Anyhow, I still kept showing up because that’s what the Swamis taught me to do - even if it’s only 15 minutes a day, do your practice. Even when you don’t want to, do your practice. I’ve been meditating on and off since I was 15 and that’s a whole other journey. Home practice is ideal. In my own space I’m able to explore more openly and deeply.”
