I’ve just returned home after ten delicious days in Mysore, India, where I held my first one-on-one retreat with a student from Ireland. This retreat brought back memories of my first time in Mysore and my first experience in India in 2014. I had no idea what India would be like, yet I felt bold enough to bring 14 students along. Who knew that retreat would be the first of many more?
But that’s the truth: nothing starts as extraordinary or amazing. It takes time to shape and refine a beautiful career, meaningful relationships, parenthood, and life itself. This year marks my 10th year returning to Mysore. It felt so familiar, yet so different. I’ve matured, I’ve grown, and it’s like riding an old bike but with newfound confidence and deep gratitude.
A fulfilling life is crafted over time. I feel this now, more than ever. Twelve years of motherhood, eleven years of running my own business, and years of traveling, teaching, and simply living have taught me to appreciate the value of time.
When life presents challenges, or things don’t unfold as I’d hoped, I remind myself: that nothing starts as extraordinary or amazing. But with intention, consistency, focus, and perseverance, we can get where we want to be, do what we love, and live the life we envision.
So don’t give up. Keep going, keep investing in the journey, and maybe this mantra will inspire you to take one more step toward your dream—your extraordinary, amazing life.
And as always I am sharing some movement practice with you because you know how much I like to say: If you want to change your mind, do something with your body.
