I find myself enjoying the experiences of life and even cherishing the mundane moments.

I’ve started enjoying parenting more and expanded the ways I teach my children.

I’ve found empowerment in what my physical body can accomplish.

My internal dialogue has quieted, and my thoughts have become more compassionate and curious.

For the first time in my life, I’ve fallen in love with my body and reconnected with my soul.

I felt myself slowly returning to a better version:

The version that said I am worth it. 

I can make decisions and I will live the best life possible.

Why did you start yoga?

When I was around 16 years old, I started practicing yoga for the physical benefits and also to build a positive relationship with my body.
