A heart full

For the past nine years, running yoga teacher trainings has been my main focus. I can still clearly remember when Kosta, the founder of Vikasa, first reached out and asked if I wanted to be part of the team. I couldn’t believe it. At the time, I was still quite new to it all, and in many ways the opportunity felt beyond my capacity—yet it was, without a doubt, a dream come true.

After thousands of hours bringing groups together, holding space, and sharing what I’ve learned, I feel far more at ease than I did at the beginning—which is only natural. The more we do something, the more we learn. And the more we learn, the less daunting it becomes.

And still, one thing remains unchanged: the way my heart continues to expand during and after each YTT. Just when I think I can’t feel more love, joy, or awe, a new layer reveals itself and everything shines a little brighter.

I often check in with myself—am I still enjoying this? Am I still growing? Is this still what I want to do? The answer is always clear: yes. I couldn’t feel more fulfilled.

Today we graduate another group of yoga teachers. Last night, while dancing my heart out during our second-to-last “Making Magic” module, a thought came to me:

This must be as good as it gets.

Who knows if that’s true. Maybe it will keep unfolding, keep deepening. And if it doesn’t, I know I’ll always look back with immense gratitude for having experienced it at all.

With a heart full to the brim, I’ll do my best to celebrate each and every student on this final day. And then, with love and pride, I’ll watch them spread their wings and fly.
