—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

     When I took my first yoga class more than a decade ago, I was a stressed out first year school teacher in the inner city of L.A.  I came to yoga to calm my mind.  Over the years, my mind has become more calm and peaceful.  I also gained a stronger, more flexible body, a clearer, more focused mind, and a connection to a deeper part of myself — the very heart of my being.  

     Yoga has helped me to open the closed parts of myself both on a physical and emotional level.  I am much more able to be more authentically myself now — more vulnerable on an outer level because I feel a deep connection on the inside to place of abiding strength within.  Life has become more of a courageous adventure — one that continues to lead me to the “highest and truest” of myself.
