When and how were you introduced to yoga?
I have been practicing yoga for 17 years. When I lived in San Francisco, my neighbor was a yoga instructor at a local studio. She encouraged me to attend her Iyengar classes.
What styles do you practice? What do you like about each style?
I practice Bikram, Flow and Yin, all the styles of practice that are offered at Being Yoga. I enjoy Bikram for the concentration and lower body conditioning. I like Flow for the constant movement and upper body conditioning. I practice Yin for the meditative and restorative conditioning.
Why do you practice yoga?
Yoga is the only activity that keeps me physically, mentally and spiritually fit. Practicing yoga brings me tremendous peace.
How has Being Yoga helped you on your journey?
Being Yoga is a utopia to me. There is always a warm greeting at the front desk and a plethora of kind yoginis. It is a haven for new and old friends to congregate and share their love of yoga. I find so much inspiration at Being Yoga, it keeps me coming back for more.
Any final words of wisdom for the students?
Choose happiness. Learn to forgive.
