I have been interested in fitness, movement and body health for most of my life. I was introduced to yoga in my 30’s but didn’t begin my practice until I turned 40 years old. From a young age I knew being active was good for my body. It wasn’t until much later I discovered I wasn’t always moving and working out in ways that were good for me long term. When I started doing yoga on a regular basis I realized that a work out doesn’t have to be harder, heavier and faster in order to be effective. By slowing down, being mindful of movement and in the moment was not only changing me physically in ways I’d never experienced, it was changing my entire outlook on fitness, health and life. After 2 years of practicing I decided I wanted to go through teacher training to deepen my own practice. During training I discovered that I do enjoy building a class and sharing the gift of moving the body in harmony with breath and mindful thought with others.
