When I step onto my mat, the feeling of peace starts to settle in; nothing else matters now but this very moment...... I have been practicing yoga since 2004 and fell in love with it immediately. I am constantly amazed at all the benefits yoga has to offer, overall creating a balanced life – not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. My passion for yoga led me to wanting to share it with others.
I believe that Yoga can be practiced anywhere, anytime and by anyone; regardless of size, age, or mobility. Many of us feel that we can't, aren't able, haven't...etc. But yoga is not about flexibility or getting into that funky pose. It's about being in the moment, using our breath to create balance and awareness in ourselves.
