What are your hobbies? Hiking with my double doodle Loki, ferrying my two kids around town lol, and hockey season! What do you love about teaching yoga? A chance to give back to my yogi community. I have gained so much through yoga, and I love the opportunity to help others on their journey. What do you love about being a student? I love the energy that comes from practicing with others, it fuels me, keeps me focused and keeps me coming back. The yogi community is truly amazing! Where do you struggle as a student? Humility. I struggle with my own physical limitations now, and accepting that my flexibility is not what it used to be 10 years ago can be super frustrating some days. I have to remind myself that each day is different and that I am where I need to be today. How do you stay positive and committed to your practice? My commitment is to myself. When I first became a mother, I found myself pulled in many different directions. A wise friend taught me to set time aside for ME. Yoga truly grounds me, and with consistent practice, I see and reap the benefits. The hardest step can be simply getting into the car. Once that’s done, I am already there. What is your mantra or personal intention? Let it go.
