Diary of a Yoga Teacher: My Journey + Inspiration

I often get asked about my journey into yoga + what it’s like being a yoga teacher. It’s a story I love sharing, because every experience, challenge + triumph has shaped how I live + teach today.

What started as a few Instagram captions quickly became over 4,000 words—and that was before even touching on 2020! That’s when I knew I needed a bigger platform to share my story: ‘Diary of a Yoga Teacher.’

Not only did I share my story on Instagram, but I also created an ebook + a YouTube video series to capture the journey in full.

The journey as a yoga practice

Writing + creating this content became a yoga practice in itself. It was an exercise in self-reflection (Svadhyaya), helping me check in with myself, my experiences + my growth.

Through this process, I also discovered Santosha (contentment)—finding joy + satisfaction in my journey, just as it is. It reminded me why I began this path: to live consciously, authentically + with presence.

Why I created ‘Diary of a Yoga Teacher’

I wanted to:

  • Document my personal journey into yoga + teaching

  • Share lessons, insights + challenges along the way

  • Inspire others to explore their own yoga path

  • Show that yoga is a lifestyle, not just a practice on the mat

This project became more than storytelling—it became a way to reflect, celebrate progress + embrace the philosophy I teach every day.

How you can explore my journey

All the content is free, including the ebook. You can explore the story in multiple ways:

Whether you’re just starting your yoga practice, reconnecting with your mat, or curious about the life of a yoga teacher, there’s something here for you.

Lessons from my journey

Throughout this journey, I’ve learned that yoga is not just about the poses—it’s about living with intention, reflection + joy.

Some key takeaways:

  • Self-reflection matters: Svadhyaya is powerful for understanding yourself + your growth.

  • Contentment is a practice: Santosha teaches us to find peace in the present moment, even amidst challenges.

  • Storytelling is transformative: Sharing our journey allows us to process experiences + inspire others.

  • Yoga is a lifestyle: It’s woven into daily life, from the way we move + breathe to how we interact + care for ourselves + others.

Start your own yoga journey
