I fly with Jaybird Because:

Jaybird literally changed the course of my life (lol not even joking). I stepped into the studio when I arrived in Canada in 2023, started working as a GEM and 1 year later I have quit my corporate job to become a full-time instructor. Jaybird has given me so much and I am so excited to see where this amazing community and concept grows to in the years to come

My journey to jaybird:

I did my yoga teacher training in Bali in 2023 and never really thought I would teach. I was burnt out from my corporate job and wanted to deepen my yoga practice. A few months later I moved to Canada and started working in finance again. I started to experience the same burn out after a few months and felt I was being called in a number of ways to teach. I was teaching corporate classes during my lunchtimes to try to build experience and started trying to plant the seeds to leave my job once I had 1 year of experience. Since leaving I started teaching in a number of my favourite studios in Vancouver (Lagree West, House Concepts, etc). Being able to teach the Build at Jaybird felt like a dream and encouraged me to keep pushing myself and growing as an instructor. The day I re-joined the flock as a teacher felt incredibly special. The feeling I get teaching at Jaybird is unmatched. It opened my eyes to so much when I used to attend as a guest and now it has taught me so much as an instructor. My goal now is to inspire others some day in the same way that I was inspired :)

What MiNdfulness Means to Me:

Being able to create quiet in the mind so inner thoughts and wisdom can be heard. A feeling of full presence without judgement or expectation. Just being there with yourself, your body, your breath in the present moment.

words to live by:

"Comparison is the thief of joy" (Why: since becoming an instructor I have never felt happier in general on a day to day basis however I do often find myself comparing myself to other instructors, other classes, worrying about not filling up classes and generally imposter syndrome. A friend told me this quote and it really resonated. Im trying not to compare myself against anything but my own growth but its hard!! This quote is keeping me on the straight and narrow lol)
