Yoga

I started doing yoga because I’m lazy. The only good thing about running is that it wears out my dog. That said, I avoid it if I can.

In 2000, I picked up a yoga book from the bargain bin at Barnes and Noble. I started doing stretches on my own and thought “Hey! This isn’t bad!” Then I went to my first class and got my ass kicked. It was immediate love.

My teaching career began in 2006 when I got certified at Rising Sun Yoga in Southgate, Michigan. I loved their program and can’t recommend it highly enough. Since then I’ve taught in a studio, a Powerhouse Gym, for gradeschoolers, at the VA hospital, at colleges and businesses, and for folks of all fitness and experience levels.

I’m a believer that everyone can do SOME kind of yoga. My style, while technically “Hatha” (as is all yoga) incorporates elements from several styles of yoga and is easily adaptable for almost everyone. Yoga is one of those things where you get out of it what you put in. I also don’t take it too seriously, because I love to laugh.
