What brought you to yoga?
In 1999 I
was working as a Director of Clinical Data Analysis in corporate
America. I was totally caught up in the rat race and was stressed out. A
good friend of my had done yoga and recommended that I do a class. At
first I was a little resistant, but after my first class I knew I had
found my love. It gave me peace of mind, eliminated my stress and made
me feel great!! I was so hooked that I did 63 days straight to start my
Bikram practice. It would have been more like 100 days if the studio
hadn't shut down for thanksgiving day! I loved it so much that I left
corporate America to teach yoga full time.
How long and how much do you practice? How long and where have you
taught?
I have been
practicing yoga since 1999. I do yoga 5 to 6 days a week. I have taught
yoga since November 2002 at 6 different Bikram studios. I love it!!
What results have you achieved physically, mentally, emotionally?
I feel I am
in the best shape of my life. I have better flexibility than I have ever
had as an adult.
My focus is
amazing compared to what it used to be. I no longer have constant
self-dialog in my mind. That is long gone. It is wonderful because I can
be in the present moment and connect with people in a way that I never
could have in the past. The yoga has made my mind razor sharp and has
brought my true voice to the surface. I have developed tremendous
self-discipline and concentration though lots of hard work. All these
things are amazing and I am grateful that I found this
yoga!
What do you like to bring to your students?
I like to
bring self-discipline (hey, personal growth doesn't come without hard
work!), compassion and personal strength to my students with my
teaching. I really focus on the connection between our minds, emotions
and bodies and increasing self awareness leading to a understanding of
who we really are. Hey, are we really here to buy more toys or to figure
out who we are and what our purpose is????
