"You cannot control what happens around you, you cannot control what happens to you, but you can control what happens inside of you. "

At 30, I stumbled into a yoga studio (to try something new) and instantly fell in love. For the first time in years, I was able to escape everything outside of myself and just be. That feeling has never left. The moment I step onto my mat, I’m home. This is why I continue to practice. This is why I became a teacher.
