Teachers
We Love

We embrace the importance of taking pause. We also know how overwhelming and intimidating it can feel to take the first step towards exploring when, where and how to welcome that pause. But like so many things in life, we’ve learned we can’t do it alone and it is important to seek tools and teachers that can guide us.

We’ve compiled a list of our favorite teachers (listed in alphabetical order) that have helped us and the people we love spark more peace, ease, and joy in our lives. This will continue to be an ongoing list. A bit of advice that is helpful for us, be honest with what resonates and what doesn’t. Often it is the honesty of what’s not working that provides the space and allowance for what does. Enjoy and be kind to yourself, so kind.
