🌿 I saw first hand our capacity to change the world when I travelled to the cloud forest regeneration project @suenodevida_ecu in 2019. The Patreon helps me keep tabs on their hard work. The latest one inspired my latest blog post.

Merging the wisdom of my mentor, Kristen Krash, with my journey as a Mysore-style Ashtanga Yoga teacher. Kristen’s remarkable work in regenerating Ecuador’s cloud forests teaches us about the deep interconnectedness of life.

🌳 KK’s article, ‘Why those big-tree planting projects fail. And why ours is succeeding,’ is not just about trees, but about resilience, regeneration, and community.

🧘‍♂️💚 In it, I find striking parallels to the nurturing environment of our Mysore yoga community. Just as a forest is more than its trees, our growth is about more than just individual practices. It’s about how we thrive together. Let’s explore these insights and grow, collectively.

Taking it all in the last night before renovations 🥹

My "home gym" for the last 4 years has been in Playa del Carmen. @impetusfitnesss welcome’d me and my family in as a part of their family-- so patient with me as I learn gym Spanish. @jaimescandont is a great coach, and his skills as a coach are just 👨‍🍳💋-- they're growing faster than my Spanish, too 🙈. Anyway, I just wanted to share a little about what my support system looks like. Gratitude. Global love, y'all.

Mi “gimnasio en casa” durante los últimos 4 años ha estado en Playa del Carmen. @impetusfitnesss nos dio la bienvenida a mí y a mi familia como parte de su familia, muy pacientes conmigo mientras aprendo español de gimnasio. @jaimescandont es un gran entrenador, y sus habilidades como entrenador son simplemente 👨‍🍳💋; también están creciendo más rápido que mi español 🙈. De todos modos, solo quería compartir un poco sobre cómo es mi sistema de apoyo. Gratitud. Amor global, amigos.
