Take in each moment one breath at a time.
I believe that it’s important to bring awareness to your life, find your passions, chase dreams, and never stop growing. And, that’s why I love yoga.
I first practiced yoga as a child with my grandmother; she taught me at a young age to meditate and ground myself. Growing up in a small town, there were no yoga studios accessible to me, so I practiced on my own using a set of VCR tapes and a book, which I surprisingly still own. Eventually, my life led me to move to a larger city with access to mentors. About eight years ago, I really started diving deeper into my practice, and I decided that I wanted to teach.
I think that anyone should be able to practice yoga regardless of their location, resources, age, or any limitation. And, I hope to make yoga available to more people.
