Yoga has taught me not only the importance of physical well-being but also patience, self-awareness, mindfulness of myself and others, and to lead a life of service. It is not something to be left behind at the studio, but a way of life leading to healthier habits and improved psychological and spiritual health. My classes allow students a comfortable setting in which they can let down their guard, open their hearts, laugh, cry, and release stress through the mind and body.
