Saresa J. Hanna - RYT 500

I was first introduced to yoga as an alternative gym class in high school and noticed how it changed my mood and awareness. It also helped me explore other cultures and traditions. As I grew older, I became a yoga practitioner often balancing my everyday life with the longing to fully dedicate myself to a yogic path. Yoga guided my focus, reduced my stress and connected me to the divine both within myself and within the world around me. After attending different studios, classes and retreats I knew yoga would always be a part of my life. My life has taken me on many different journeys. From a career to motherhood to finally completing my degree; my yoga practice has always been there to guide me through rough waters. I knew it would always be with me. The decision to become a yoga teacher was a long one because I wanted to ensure I knew enough before starting to teach, but I soon came to realize, I will never know enough! Becoming a yoga teacher increased my knowledge of yoga, how to adhere to traditional yoga practices while teaching others along their path and how to find balance amongst the chaos. Yoga is a lifestyle and we are always learning, adapting and ever evolving.
