I feel so lucky to combine two things I love—marketing and yoga—in my role as the Marketing & Communications Manager for the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT). Working remotely with amazing colleagues, promoting yoga as a healing art, and creating meaningful campaigns feels like a dream job.
But here’s the thing no one really talks about: when your work is your passion, it’s really hard to step away. I’ve had to learn (and keep relearning) how to balance my time, take breaks, and not overwork—even when the work feels like play. Rest is important, even when you love what you do. Taking time to pause, recharge, and just be makes a huge difference.
It’s not always easy, but I remind myself that stepping away allows me to show up stronger and more creative. Rest isn’t just a luxury—it’s part of the process.
