I have been married to Dave, the love of my life, for 23 years. My children Jack and Olivia are simply amazing. I was put on this earth to be a teacher. I teach fourth and fifth grade gifted at Neil Armstrong Elementary School. <\/span><\/p>\n I first began yoga three years ago, and it has changed my life! I began to practice because it was on my \u201cbucket list\u201d of things I wanted to do. Running is my first love, and in order to keep running strong, I needed to stretch things out. However, yoga has changed my life and overall outlook, and I strongly encourage everyone to give it a try. I practice about three times a week. It has become somewhat of a religion for me. I love to attend mixed level classes and up. I love any pose that challenges me. The challenge of yoga is one of the things that keeps me coming back.<\/span><\/p>\n I did not have any particular physical challenges, per se, but mentally I have learned to slow down and take a breath. I say this to the students and colleagues I work with all the time. The greatest benefits of practicing yoga have been the daily reminder to be aware and celebrate mind, body, and spirit connection. The idea of a daily practice resonates with me, and I transfer this idea into many aspects of my daily life. <\/span><\/p>\n My yoga practice has changed my life in so many ways. The practice empowers me to focus on the here and now and on being present in whatever I am doing. At times, this can be an immense challenge for me. Staying present is something that I am always working on. I keep coming back to yoga because the teachers at TYS inspire me in some way every time I come to practice. <\/span><\/p>\n Outside The Yoga Sanctuary I love to run, walk, and bike. I am a Girls on the Run coach, and that is one of my most favorite things. <\/span><\/p>\n Favorite quote: \u201cYou will never regret being kind.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have been married to Dave, the love of my life, for 23 years.
