NEW CLASS STARTS JAN 8 4-5PM WITH SAM FISHER!
How long have you been practicing yoga?
I have been practicing yoga for 8½ years. I started because my neighbor brought me to a class, and I fell in love with not only the way I felt physically but what I experienced mentally/spiritually afterward.
What impact has yoga had on your life? Yoga has had a tremendous impact on my life. The practice has taught me that yoga isn’t about getting it right, it’s about listening, and adjusting. Mostly, I have learned that yoga is not about what happens on your mat but how you move through life when you leave it.
Who were you before you started practicing? Before I began my yoga practice I was always on the go and moving fast, raising my kids and running the house while my husband worked 12+ hour days. Yoga has taught me how to slow down, take time for myself, be open to receiving all that life throws my way and listen, really listen not only to others, but to my own intuition. Such a gift!
When did you start working/teaching at Reach and what made you want to be in that space? I began working at the desk at Reach 4 ½ years ago. I saw an instagram post for the job as we were just coming out of the pandemic, I was really searching for purpose in my life. The timing was perfect. I had just begun really diving into my yoga practice with Reach Yoga’s Zoom classes, and the job description sounded like the perfect fresh start for me. I loved that it was a woman owned business too! Because my love for the practice has deepened, this past summer I did the Yoga Teacher Training at Reach Yoga. I am so excited to bring what I’ve learned to the incredible community that is Reach Yoga!
As someone who sees new students coming into the studio daily, what advice would you give to someone who is just starting out on their yoga journey?
Be patient with yourself, and let yourself evolve through the
journey with grace.
What is your favorite non yoga activity? PHISHING!!! Of course!! I LOVE all live music. There is nothing better than seeing live music and sharing the groove with the people you love-and if it is a Phish show-I am over the moon!
