This May marks seven years of owning and operating LOVE Yoga—and what a journey it’s been. I can say honestly that it’s been just as much about building studios and growing into leadership as it has been about learning to look at myself and ask the hard questions.

“When we are controlled by our attachments, we not only lose our peace of mind; we miss the opportunity to enjoy life’s natural unfolding. In fact, all the things we love and appreciate exist because of continuous change. Without change, life itself would not be possible.

February, the month of love, is here. We just got done with our Bhakti yoga weekend for Yoga Teacher Training, where we spent the weekend exploring the “yoga of love and devotion,” so the timing is just right. During our weekend, we had some real talk about how to practice love on and off our mats, especially when the world feels like it is falling apart and there is so much hatred, violence, and injustice boiling around us.
