I wanted to do something that felt more true to me. I was just exploring it and trying to be present with it, not trying to run away or cover it up.My advice would be to roll out your mat and give it your best effort. You have to give it your best effort. You have to honour the energy that’s there.As I get older I feel like I don’t have to perform so much. It heightened my dedication of the practice.

I continued with my own practice and I started with one class a week, which turned into two and then I was doing it on the weekends because I had a full-time job and so I was still doing the normal life thing. This will get filled up pretty soon so book soon. When the window of opportunity came, I knew that if I didn’t strike at that time, then it was never going to happen. After that it flowed to many different directions but in the beginning, I started once a week, then twice, then a few workshops. After my six months in Taiwan, I went back to Mysore to again study and practice. I started to teach a small Mysore class in Columbus, Ohio where I’m from.

You teach what you know, and you have to be a practicioner. You will always find a book in my purse of some sort I’m working through. Not huge workshops, just perhaps introducing people to the practice or certain elements of the practice.What I found is that I didn’t necessarily need any type of training, it was just about being dedicated to the practice and just teaching your experience.
