“How is love defined in yoga? It is nonharming, honesty, nonstealing, moderation, nonhoarding, purity, contentment, zeal, self-awareness, and surrender. It is being who we were born to be. Love is being who we are.”
- Rolf Gates, Meditations from the Mat

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?”
Actually, who are you not to be?
-Marianne Williamson

Meet Jill:
a kind-spirited, deeply inspiring, and soulful yoga teacher and fashion designer who founded Awear Yoga. i recently had the honor of photographing her unique yoga clothing line: locally-made, organic, inspiring designs.. many of which are handmade and all of which are truly beautiful pieces to wear on and off the mat. a portion of her profits are also donated to various charitable organizations.. jill is doing all sorts of good!
i just happened to meet Jill within days of moving to Grand Rapids at the first yoga class i attended here, nearly a year ago. our friendship has been blossoming ever since and i am beyond grateful that our paths have crossed..
A huge thank you to the lovely models who spent their day with us in and around Grand Rapids! This yoga community is a pretty special one – I’m so proud to be a part of it

as i look out from our porch, i see nothing but green upon green upon green. our room is called Beji 2 and you enter through the squeaky, traditional Balinese carved doors, which lock from the inside with a simple piece of wood. i feel like i am someplace at another time entirely. someplace imaginary. from the labrynth of stairways leading you every-which-way to the river rushing below, i certainly could never have dreamed of a place quite like this..
-excerpt from my travel journal
(the photographs below were taken during our stay at Hotel Tjampuhan, a magical place and the first hotel in Ubud – built in 1928.)
i recently entered a series of my documentary Bali photographs in the One Life Photography Competition. i hope you’ll take a moment to view my entry (click image below). if you feel compelled, you may vote once a day. thank you!!
