How yoga has helped me:

Yoga has kept my body pain free, lean, and flexible and my mind balanced, calm and aware. I started doing yoga in high school, just to avoid the negative effects of high impact sports. It did not take long for me to notice the huge benefits of holding poses while breathing deeply. Little did I know the practice would become a huge part of my life. I spent a year traveling through South East Asia studying with different teachers. I now incorporate yoga into my daily routine, whether it’s a full hour or just 10 minutes before bed. This simple practice can leave you feeling energized or relaxed, depending upon the time of day you do it.
