I began my yoga journey November 2023 at age 53. I joined a new gym in the area, and yoga was included in my membership, so I took advantage of it. It was challenging at first because I didn't know what I was doing, I was self-conscious, I was stiff, my balance was poor, I was out of shape, and I was a little bit overweight. But it didn't discourage me, it inspired me. I fairly quickly noticed improvements in flexibility, balance and strength - so then I was hooked (I absolutely love balance challenges). Eating heathier and various other exercise classes in addition to yoga lead to me losing 20 lbs and toning up quite a bit. Focus and memory was honed.

I decided to do Yoga Teacher Training to get a deeper understanding of yoga, not to become a teacher. But that gradually changed to absolutely wanting to teach as my training progressed. I continue to train, teach and learn almost everyday. I hope to share what I know and feel now, thanks to yoga, with as many people as possible - because it is such a good thing.
