My intro to yoga didn't come until my mid 30’s in the attic of an old house where my daughter took kindermusik classes. I studied with a very serious and wonderful  Iyengar teacher for a few years, and then when an Anusara yoga center opened up, I was 100% smitten from day 1. For the first time in my life, I gained body awareness, strength and confidence, and a door opened that spilled untold riches into in my life from that point onward.

​

25ish years later, the "right" amount of challenge in my practice feels great, and gets re-defined on a daily basis. I'm no longer interested in the  "pretzely" stuff. Letting go of that masculine template has given me the freedom to be more intuitive, listening to and honoring what my body needs depending on my current state of being. I practice to keep on feeling good - I teach because I absolutely love it. None of us are gettin' any younger, and we hold each other accountable by coming to our mats time and time again, letting go of the "shoulds", and continually practicing how to accept where we are without comparing ourselves to an old template we've outgrown.
