Puerto Rico, January 9-19, 2017

I'm so grateful for this opportunity, this building, and these people I've met along the way. Graduation is in three days and, while I'm so excited and proud of myself for completing this training, I'll be so sad to say goodbye to the people who have been my family for the last month. #YogaGardenSF #TeacherTraining #JulyImmersion #2016 #Y200 #Certificate #200Hours #Divisadero #SF

The very first time I was ever able to get off the ground when attempting Urdhva Dhanurasana. July 2016. My elbows are splaying out and I might want to come up onto my toes to get more of a curve. Feet could come in a little more. Shoulders need to come away from my ears. But I'm celebrating because I am so proud of myself for coming this far into the pose and I know I'll get the alignment right eventually. I'm only not there yet.
