I began practicing yoga around ten years ago. Much like many others, I wasn’t sure it would be a fit for me, but i had heard about its benefits so I figured I’d give it a go. I was blessed with thorough and thoughtful teachers and practice became part of my life. I decided to attend teacher training a few years later, thinking I really wanted to learn how to improve my poses. What I experienced was so much more: a path of liberation, of multi-faceted practice, of ways to harmonize mind, body, speech, a new way of looking at myself. My current favorite pose is Paschimottanasana (seated forward fold). It can be difficult when my body is tight and my mind is busy; but I’m learning to spend time with it, breathe into it, soften my expectations and surrender a little more to it each time. That cycle of patient growth, new awareness, is the practice for me. I can’t wait to see you on the mat!
