Community is about surrounding yourself with your tribe – a group of people who love and support each other. I am fortunate to have wonderful friends and close family around me to lift me up and help keep me centered. Tradition is a big part of my family, and each year we get together to make holiday cookies. We bake ourselves silly with the amount of cookies we make to give as gifts to friends and loved ones. We plan for it all year long, perfecting our lists, researching new recipes, as well as keeping the tried and true ones. By the end of the day we have dozens and dozens of cookies!

Devotion360 has created a strong community through love, acceptance and meaningful relationships that I feel equally blessed to be a part of. As a teacher, it is very gratifying to see students finding classes they gravitate towards and connecting with fellow classmates to deepen their practice. One of my favorite parts of the week is spending time getting to know students after Friday night’s Wine Down class and share some laughs and refreshments. We always have a great time!

Our yoga practice extends far beyond the mat and to be a part of something larger than ourselves is rewarding in so many ways and to be a part of a community allows us to strive to be our best and to see the best in each other.

Wishing you a very happy holiday season filed with joy, love and comfort!
