About this Page
I’ve been teaching yoga since 2020 and have had the immense privilege of serving hundreds of people in group classes, events and one-on-one. This thing kept happening though.
Many, many times I have wanted to share resources with folks. I have mostly been resorting to writing things down on little bits of paper ripped out of my sketchbooks.
So now, a solution! When I come across an interesting resource, I will capture it for you here. I hope this is helpful. These are, of course, only my opinions. I am not saying these are the only materials out there. Just things that have benefitted me (and those I know) personally. Enjoy!
