Our Impact

Someone asked me recently: “How to you measure your impact with your students?”

It often feels like people are looking for answers like “they finally nailed their arm balance” - but those metrics can be deceiving. I’ve met plenty of people who can do all the postures, and some of them are still miserable.

I look for feedback in smiles, tears and collective sighs.

I see it in students who learn how to drop deep into rest after 500 figity savasanas.

I see it when someone finds the courage to try something new.

I feel it when students come back, or share their stories or ask for help.

I bow to it when I see a practitioner take huge leaps of faith or walk through painful life circumstances with grace.

To assume that the human experience is linear and/or that we are doing yoga for the “fruits” (the outcome) is to corrupt the original idea of yoga: You are already whole, you are already worthy, you just need to get that other stuff out of the way so you can feel it.

Thousand STUDENTS SERVED

Between weekly classes, workshops, corporate events, teacher trainings and festivals - I started to tally how many people I’d worked with over time. When I hit the “=” sign I was floored. What an honor it is to share these ideas with so many powerful people.
