Growing up, I loved gymnastics, but had to quit in high school because of injury. As an adult, I still had pain and a lot of tightness in my body. I went to physical therapy. I tried chiropractors. When I would go to massage therapists, I would frequently be asked, “What do you do? You have so many knots in your back!” When I started doing yoga, my body loved it. I lost weight, my skin improved, my body become much more flexible, and all of a sudden I had so much more energy.
I began to do yoga regularly, and continued to notice a lot of positive changes in my life. After taking yoga classes for many years, I decided to take the step toward becoming a yoga teacher and became a certified yoga teacher. I teach many different types of classes and love the variety. Fast paced or slow, flowing through postures or stretching and holding them, a difficult workout or meditation and relaxation. There is a type of yoga class for everyone!
When I’m not in yoga classes, I teach music at a local elementary school in Ann Arbor. Working with kids, my job is never boring! Teaching music to my students is quite rewarding, but can also be stressful and taxing on the body and mind. Yoga has been a great supplement to not only teach others, but also to reduce my own stress, work through muscle tension, give me more energy throughout the day, and help to calm my mind.
Each of us has our own yoga journey. Whether it is for your body, mind, spirit, or all of the above. Yoga has definitely changed me for the better. I look forward to seeing you in class for your yoga journey as well!
