The Yoga Lab | Misadventures of an Undomestic Goddess
In the fall of 2017, I began my grad school journey. Seven semesters later and a year to reflect leaves me still wondering how I did it all. Truthfully, it feels like a blur. My days consisted of: study, eat, work, study, sleep. Then I’d wash, rinse, and repeat. Looking back, before I was in […]

For me, going outside gives me the space and quietness that I need to go ‘inside’. And by ‘inside’…I mean inside my head. Inside my soul. Allowing this time to pause and go inward is not only essential to my well-being, but it allows me to come to the table in everyday life as the […]
