When Did You Start Practicing Yoga?

April, 2009

What Has Yoga Done For You?

Yoga has sparked a level of passion and excitement within me, which I haven’t received in any other facet of life. I have so much respect for what I’ve accomplished with my mind and body. I understand now that the only thing that I can control in life is myself; that has allowed me to broaden my perspective on who I am and see that I’m capable of a lot more than I ever knew. Yoga makes me want to be a better person. Yoga has improved my quality of life tremendously!

What Has QiCycle-yoga Done For You?

I actually get very excited to take spin/yoga classes. There’s nothing like being in your element and getting a great workout with your fellow yogis and then switching gears to bring peace to your mind and body. It’s the perfect way to start the day!

What Do You Want To Teach?

I want to teach people that it’s worth it to make yoga part of their lives. There are so many great benefits of the practice, many of which can’t be taught and one must allow themselves to figure out. I want to create a positive environment where people can discover more about their minds and bodies and hopefully find the same passion for it that I have. If you like what Yoga does for you on the mat, wait until you see what it can do for you off the mat!

What Is Your Favorite Part Of Teaching?

I’ve found that teaching yoga is a huge adrenaline rush for me! It’s a practice that I believe in so much and for me to share it with others is so gratifying and makes me feel like I’ve made a positive impact on the word. What an amazing gift it is to be able to lead someone through their yoga journey, a journey that can be life-changing.

Other Activities

Spending time with my 3 cats, enjoying the mountains, watching the Denver Nuggets take names, going to hip-hop shows, giving in to my guilty reality show pleasure, discovering new places to eat, soduku and learning poker!

Future Goals

Well I just accomplished a very exciting goal by completing teacher training! Next step, I am planning on getting certified to teach kids yoga, spin/yoga, and yoga/sculpt. Eventually I WILL leave the desk job and make yoga my career (keep your fingers crossed!).
