••• This medal was given to me by a friend and former student who found my classes at a low point in his life when running (something he loves) was no longer an option. With A LOT of hard work on the mat, he was able to get back to what he loved...and he got the medal to prove it. This medal is now one of my most prized possessions. I started teaching #yoga because I wanted to make a difference in people's lives. I wanted to share everything this amazing practice had done for me. To know that I have made a positive difference in someone else's life, means the world to me. It means that I'm living my life's purpose... And it doesn't really get any better than that. So any time I feel lost or am doubting myself and my teaching I will look at it and know that I am on the right path. So thank YOU Mike!!! #heartiswarmed #inspired #inspire #inspiration #yogateacher #yogaeveryday #yogainspiration #livingmypurpose #aspiretoinspire #dreambig #marathon
