       I have been truly blessed with the opportunity to share yoga with gifted instructors and to learn from master teachers around the world. This book is dedicated to all the yoga enthusiasts who have entrusted me with their process and the yoga teachers who have given their time, knowledge, and invaluable life lessons.

       Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they’re meant to be.
