After many years of yoga I have gained mental clarity, a personal sense of peace, balance and grace. Yoga has taught me to live more consciously, be open to possibilities and most importantly, that we are all connected to each other. I am enrolled in teacher training to give this back to others.

Yoga inspires me in so many ways. I always thought of yoga as a way of keeping my body in shape, it wasn't until I started training to be an instructor that I realized it keeps my mind and spirit and in shape also. I have grown so much spiritually and have really learned the mind body connection.

Yoga inspires me to explore out of my comfort zone, off the safety of my mat, into the world & up in the air! Yoga challenges me to live as I teach & reminds me to keep learning. Yoga encourages me to share compassionately, love deeply, play freely, celebrate joy & give thanks. Yoga is my balance :)

Yoga gives me balance. It helps me stay present. It awakens my soul and keeps me grounded. Yoga to me, is not about forcing yourself into poses or competition-it is about being true to who you are. It does not need to be complex--my practice is a time to reflect, relax and just be.
