Originally from Birmingham, AL - classy southern, no accent Went to school for dance, because she was #sogood Knew dance wasn’t for her in Chicago and worked for Lululemon instead Goal setting started with her parents Set a goal with Jared to move from Chicago and open a Crossfit gym Left Chicago for Indy and the rest is history Where did it all start? Dance in college and shitty body image Hit a teacher with a ball, said this is BS A lot of broken people come to yoga Started Yoga class in college with Swami Doug and his banana hammock Doug talked about philosophy on top of just practicing yoga  The change Quit Lululemon, due to goal setting Started with Salesforce because of Kevin…. oh Kevin Learned about crisis management and complexity of business while at Salesforce Then left Salesforce because she wanted to open a yoga studio First full time employee at Naptown fitness (not named Peter or Jared) Bigger changes Left the small space on Delaware  Opened up the yoga garage at 922 Capitol.  Goals aren’t always things that you write down, the universe is listening Took a 500 hour certification in LA Where did the name practice Indie come from? Practice = Repetitive action Indie = Entrepreneurship, self ownership. Being your best self Practicing being your best self every day, whatever that looks like  How do you manage separation and running a business with your other half? Literally left salesforce to spend more time with Peter The thought was to work together to see each other more Work together well because they want to be around each other No “shut off times” but it’s in conversation  Goal setting session You need 3 things: Paper, pen, and calendar  You NEED to WRITE THIS DOWN  Starting with the rules: No attachment Practice Discipline Self study / check-ins Surrender. Surrender to something higher than yourself 

The universe is rallying for all of us to be the best we can be. Accept that you are deserving of your best life possible. If you are going to be on this Earth, you better make it count. Ask yourself, if I were to die tomorrow what would I do today? First, we start with a meditation Find yourself in a comfortable seat with your feet on the ground and your back tall Close your eyes A palm or both palms open. You are now open to possibility.  Imagine yourself 3 years from now….. #Goals Need to be quantifiable  Ask yourself, am I doing it because I want it or am I doing it because it looks good? Are you willing to do the work to get there? Are the stakes high enough? Smart Goals: Specific: Be clear.  Measurable: Can you measure it.  Affirmative: Write it as if it is happening or has already happened.  Realistic: Don’t send mixed signals to the earth.  Timely: Have a “by when” date in your calendar Write a “don’t do” list This is a list of what you need to stop doing today in order to make your goals happen.  Write new habits Read Brian Tracy books  10% rule. Everyday be 10% better To achieve your goals you have to build new habits! Tasting session: Juice!
