The creation of Yogi Rising
In 2011, I began my entrepreneurial journey in the field of photography. After the passing of my husband in 2015, which left me a single mother of four children, I made the decision to elevate my small hobby business into a full-time career to support my family. This endeavor revealed my innate abilities in business, and over time, I found myself mentoring others who loved photography but struggled with the business side of their craft.
In 2019, I discovered yoga and instantly fell in love. My soul felt as though it had come home. Yoga brought a profound sense of peace to my life and my body that I didn’t know was possible. As my passion deepened, I found my focus shifting from photography to the yoga industry. However, not long after establishing my yoga practice, I witnessed the cherished space I had grown to love begin to unravel.
My entrepreneurial mindset and skills instinctively came into play as I became aware of the challenges faced by yoga teachers, studio owners, and the wider community. I felt a deep, intuitive knowing that change was needed in the yoga industry—and that I had the ability to help. This resonated deeply with my lifelong calling to be of service, and I knew this path was meant for me.
Just as I began pursuing this mission, the pandemic struck, leading to a four-year pause. Though unanticipated, this pause became a time of profound healing and transformation—growth I didn’t realize was necessary for me to move forward with clarity and purpose. During this time, I was guided to incredible mentors and experiences, building a strong and well-rounded foundation for the work I am called to bring forth.
Now, with deep gratitude, humility, passion, and excitement, I am bringing Yogi Rising to life.
The mission that came to me in 2019 feels more relevant than ever in today’s world. Humanity needs healing modalities and safe, supportive communities now more than ever. As I’ve shared this vision, I’ve seen countless souls light up, affirming the urgency of this work and the impact it can create.
But I cannot do this alone. None of us can—and we were never meant to. With an open heart, I am seeking like-minded individuals who resonate with this mission to come together and form our tribe. As a collective, we will rise to our fullest potential, fulfilling our purpose and making a lasting difference in the lives of others.
If this message resonates with you and sparks something within your soul, I invite you to schedule a free connection call with me and sign up for our next Yogi Rising meeting. I would be honored to connect with you and explore how you feel called to join the Yogi Rising movement.
Values & Mission of Yogi Rising
I believe that those of us drawn to serving humanity are healers, each uniquely gifted with souls waiting for our guidance. Our individual experiences and talents have shaped us into the distinct beings we are today. Just as we’ve been drawn to certain teachers who have guided and inspired us, we, too, are meant to do the same for others. The souls awaiting your guidance are not the ones who need me, and vice versa.
This is why I deeply believe that no one is a competitor. When we come together as a community, we can cultivate the support, tools, and resources necessary to thrive in our work—fulfilling our calling to serve at the capacity we desire. I believe that collaboration is essential to our success in this profound work of service. We were not meant to do this alone!
After years of interviews, research, and entrepreneurial experience, it’s become clear to me that change is needed in this industry. Yogi Rising was born from this realization and my passion to guide healing practitioners in finding their light, embracing it with confidence, and stepping boldly into their purpose. My intention is to hold space for support, growth, and community—where healers can flourish together.
This calling has been with me for years, and I’ve worked diligently to release the personal barriers that once held me back from bringing it to life. I am deeply humbled, grateful, and excited to introduce Yogi Rising, and to help others rediscover their authentic selves, step into their destinies, and shine their light brightly in service to others.
