Find Your Journey
I arrived in Vancouver with a mission to continue my practice as a teacher and a student and to gift what I know on to others.  He taught me that our flow works best with a diligent practice, an open heart and a sense of humor about it all.  “You are stronger than you think you are” became a mantra in my life as I move through the highs and lows of my path.  He acknowledged and accepted the restless seeker and opened up the possibility that we carry in us the potential to find home, that anchor within the rootlessness-an anchor found within not with-out.  

As I brought yoga into school systems as an art/expressive therapist, I gained new respect for this incredible practice and the training that I received through Larry’s system as it prepared me to work with all levels and ages and still offer a dynamic and fulfilling session.  Yes, I’ve added to my training along the way with other teachers in other places, but my foundation remains strongly connected to the Rocket practice and its adaptability to all situations.  

Teachers don’t often tell us what we want to hear.  They teach us what we need to hear, new ways to see and experience and express our reality-provide us with new tools to negotiate our journey.  As teachers and life long students, we need to stay humble and focused, courageous through the unknown.  We stand without smug, spiritual superiority, but with open, generous and authentic intentions.
