March was a lot 😮‍💨 One of those stretches where everything stacks. Trying to hold it all together while still showing up for everyone else.

And I know what happens to me when I feel like that 😵‍💫
I want to know everything. What’s happening, when it’s happening, how it’s all going to go. I didn’t recognize it as anxiety in my 20s. It just felt like being responsible.

Back then,  I needed control because I didn’t trust. Didn’t trust people, didn’t trust timing, didn’t trust that things could work out without me managing them. Spontaneity used to drive me insane. And somewhere along the way, life (and honestly, my relationships) reinforced that.

But this chapter of my life has been different 🥹 Being with someone who moves through life in a “go with the flow” way has slowly made me realize how much energy I’ve spent holding on.

Because the truth is… we don’t control much anyway. And holding on to that illusion just makes everything tighter.

Mexico isn’t my “known.” The pace is slower here. There’s space to sit in where you are instead of rushing toward what’s next. And it made me think about how I want to show up as a yoga teacher. Creating space for people to actually land. To feel something real. To trust themselves again.

So naturally… my mind went there. What would it look like to create this for you? Something intentional. Morning practices that build over time. Space in the day to enjoy where you are. Workshops that help you understand your body and your practice in a way that actually sticks. Good food, beautiful surroundings, and enough room to just be in it.

I’ve started looking at locations 🇲🇽 Thinking about what the experience would feel like. It’s still early. But it feels clear. Enough to say with confidence that I will be back in Mexico for my first retreat ever this August!
