The Hidden Gifts Behind the Scenes
How My Creative Process Shapes Your SAAL Yoga Experience
(Estimated read time: 3 minutes)
If you’re thinking about joining SAAL Yoga with me, you might picture each session as a perfectly crafted sequence, designed to help your back feel strong and supported. But what you don’t see are the countless yoga flows and ideas I create, and sometimes set aside, before we ever meet on the mat. Just like a writer with a folder of unfinished drafts, I have a collection of yoga sequences that never make it to class. And surprisingly, it’s in these unseen drafts that the real magic happens.
Behind Every Great Yoga Session
It’s easy to imagine that yoga teachers simply arrive with flawless routines, but the truth is, every class is the result of a thoughtful, laborious, and sometimes messy creative process. For every session you practice with me, there are many more that I’ve explored, revised, and sometimes discarded. Why? Because I want to offer you the safest, most effective experience for your spine health.
Why I Discard Yoga Flows (And Why That’s Good for You)
Perfection Isn’t the Goal: I don’t expect every idea to work perfectly the first time. By experimenting and letting go of what doesn’t serve, I ensure that the flows I bring to you are truly beneficial for your spine.
Discovery Through Practice: Sometimes, a sequence looks great on paper but doesn’t feel right in the body. Testing and refining each session helps me discover what works best for your body.
Commitment to Your Well-Being: Editing and reworking my drafts isn’t about chasing perfection, it’s about my commitment to your safety and progress. Each revision brings us closer to a class that supports your unique needs.
Lessons That Shape Your Yoga Experience
Trust the Process: Every discarded flow is a step toward greater clarity and effectiveness. I trust that with each attempt, I’m learning how to serve you better.
Letting Go (for Your Benefit!): Not every idea needs to make it to class. Letting go of what doesn’t work creates space for flows that truly support your spine health.
Finding the Gems: Even in “failed” drafts, I often discover a pose or sequence that becomes the highlight of our practice together.
Staying Present: My focus is always on being present with you and your needs, rather than obsessing over a perfect product. This presence leads to more authentic, helpful sessions.
What This Means for You
When you join me with SAAL Yoga, you’re benefiting from a creative process rooted in care, curiosity, and a willingness to learn. The sessions we practice are the result of thoughtful experimentation, extensive research and a deep commitment to your well-being.
