CURRENT MISSION

Teach people how to manage stress with yoga and mindfulness

ABOUT ME

I signed up to couchsurf for the first time because I need a place to stay while learning to teach yoga. I had some truly amazing experiences because of it and ended up meeting several other people through my hosts. I am still very close to my first host! I love meeting people, especially unique ones. I am an optimistic person and I can always find a way to make something fun. I am a southern girl for sure. I LOVE live music. I can hang with anyone and I can have a conversation about anything. I do not like judgmental people and I only want positive vibrations. Any other questions just ask.

PHILOSOPHY

"Coldheartedness and narrow-mindedness are not the kinds of habits we want to reinforce. They won't predispose us to awakening-in fact, they will keep us stuck. So we make the warrior commitment-take the vow to care for one another- then do our best to never turn our backs on anyone. And when we falter, we renew our commitment and move on, knowing that even the awakened ones of the past understood what it felt like to relapse. Otherwise, how could they have any idea about what other beings go through? Otherwise, how could they have cultivated patience and forgiveness, loving kindness and compassion?" - Pema Chodron
THERE ARE NO RULES JUST DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND TRY NOT TO HURT OTHERS
