Yoga

I am a Registered Yoga Teacher, Yoga Teacher Trainer, and Founder of Yogis in Service.

Long before I took my first yoga class, I loved the idea of yoga: the integration of body and mind in service of the soul. What is not to love about that?

Yet, for a long time, I believed that (much like ballet) yoga was most certainly not for people like me! Yoga was for those with flexibility and grace. Yoga was for people had “good” bodies—bodies that looked right, moved right, and easily fell into calm, relaxed states.

Despite my certitude, a good friend dragged me along to a yoga class over twelve years ago. Entering the class, I was afraid. I was afraid of falling, afraid being the only one in the room who could not reach her toes, afraid I would embarrass myself. As the class ended though, I found myself lying in savasana with an amazing sense of what I can only call a big-hearted feeling of love and happiness. You see, yoga was for me and my tight hamstrings. It turns out that you don’t need to be perfectly graceful and flexible.

You just need to be.

And so, this is why I teach. I want to show you the way to that big-hearted love and happiness. And maybe somewhere along the way, your hamstrings will let go a little bit, and you will find your toes.
