the story behind the name
I’ve been in the world of yoga for a long time now. More than a decade of teaching, managing studios, mentoring teachers, trying to hold space in ways that feel real and sustainable.
It’s strange to look back and realize how many versions of this work there have been. Different seasons, different shapes, different ways of showing up. But one thing keeps coming back around.
Loving your work doesn’t make it easy to hold. I’ve watched people I admire—deeply intuitive, wildly gifted—reach that edge where inspiration and exhaustion start to blur. Not because they lost their way, but because they were trying to do everything alone.
I’ve been there too.
That space where your purpose still glows, but the ground beneath it starts to crack a little. Where you wonder how something that feels so true can also feel so heavy to carry. Somewhere in that space, The Heart of Practice began to take shape. Not as a plan, more like a whisper at first. What if the way we sustain our work could feel like part of the practice itself? What if the business side didn’t have to feel separate from the heart of it?
That’s what I wanted to explore. A way of tending to the work that doesn’t drain it. A way of holding what we build without losing ourselves in the process.
This space is for the teachers and guides, the movers, the ones who hold so much for others. It’s for anyone who wants to keep growing, but without burning out the light that started it all. Here, strategy and soul sit side by side. Not competing, just listening to each other. Because I’ve come to think the practice isn’t only on the mat. It’s also in the way we build, the way we lead, the way we take care of the thing we’ve created.
So if you’re here, maybe you’re standing in that in-between place too. Not quite where you were, not yet where you’re going. Ready for what’s next, but wanting to move toward it with steadiness, with breath.
If so, welcome. You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
