After the birth of my second child I felt I needed some stress relief and exercise that was not in a gym. I went to a studio a few times and just did not feel like I was connecting to the teacher or that she was trying to connect with her students at all. But going inspired me to buy myself a mat, block, strap and DVDs so I could do my own home practice, I had been bitten by the yoga bug!
Then life got in the way, a full-time job, a third child, and my yoga props were collecting dust. The studio had closed and it was some time before a new one opened and so I decided to check it out. This time I completely connected with the teacher, in fact every teacher I came across there. They all genuinely wanted to show you correct poses, make sure you were feeling the benefits and I just knew they cared. As I continued my practice, I felt the physical and mental changes developing. Even when I thought I was too tired to go, I went and was so glad I did. The opportunity to attend a 200-Hour Teacher Training Program with Yogaworks arose and the training was a life changing experience for me as I learned the history, philosophies and teachings of yoga. It is not just about exercise, it is a way of life and I try to carry that knowledge with me through out the day
My desire as an instructor is to introduce yoga to people who are so busy in their lives working or running around that they do not take time for themselves. I think everyone should try something at least once and if I can be part of someone’s first experience with yoga and they love it, I will be fulfilled. I like to teach "slow and easy", to give students time to move into and settle into their poses so they can feel the benefits of it. I encourage the use of props in poses as assistance for proper alignment.
See you on the mat!
