I first connected with yoga as a way to find balance, clarity, and confidence during challenging times. Yoga’s transformative forces, both on and off the mat, inspired me to earn my 200-RYT certificate and start leading yoga for the teenagers and adults in my community. The more I taught yoga, the more I saw its principles come to life everywhere else: in what I read, what I wrote, my interactions with people, nature, and art. Weaving the disciplines of yoga and literacy together as a way to get to know oneself and perceive and navigate the world has become a joy that has nourished my own wellbeing and opened my eyes to possibility. By centering curiosity, compassion, and creativity, I invite my students to imagine their happiest and healthiest selves.
