Yoga-versary!
Hi Friends,
November (I don’t remember the exact date) marks 12 years of teaching yoga “full time.” It’s been a wonderful and wild ride since pretty much day one – if you’d like to hear the tale of how it all started, read on:
I took my first yoga class as a college course, Hatha Yoga 101. I was 19 & had been living with RA for 6 years, already with permanent physical limitations that required adaptations to shapes (like chaturanga – I’ve never done one cuz I’ve never had wrists in my yoga career.) My teacher was truly amazing & I was hooked in my first class.
I practiced for about 5 more years before I enrolled in teacher training & I must have set a strong intention that I wanted to teach because I got the opportunity to start at a small Minneapolis studio when I was only one month into my first training!
My very favorite thing about teaching yoga is that it can be anything you make it – like the amazing opportunity to specialize in chronic pain.
I’m beyond grateful to have you here along the journey
