I’m a consummate overthinker! Yoga brings me into the moment like nothing else. I connect to my body by focusing my mind. I focus my mind by concentrating on my body. My breath is the conduit for and between both. Then, add music and heat … !! I love being in a room with others, sharing an experience and energy, communicating without words. Connection, willpower, strength, balance, flexibility, grace, joy, freedom, release, self-acceptance — these are gifts I receive by practicing yoga. Thousands of hours on my mat, and I never tire of it, regret it, or stop finding novelty in it. I want others to experience these gifts too. Through teaching yoga, I hope to be a conduit for others to find even a bit of that for themselves.
