What brought you to yoga?
My deep love for movement and flow led me to yoga, where I found a practice that beautifully blends both. What is your approach to teaching? I aim to create a safe and welcoming space for students to explore their own potential and discover the joy and playfulness that yoga offers. Why did you choose to teach at 5KY? I was drawn to Five Keys Yoga because of its commitment to “yoga for all abilities.” I truly appreciate their intentional approach to making yoga accessible to everyone. What makes your soul sing? I may sound repetitive, but nothing lights me up more than flow. When my breath and movement come together in perfect harmony, it brings me a sense of joy and clarity.

What brought you to your yoga practice?
I was searching for a mindful practice where I could be in the present moment without distractions like my phone or tv. I also love to stretch and was looking to tone my muscles - yoga was the perfect answer! What benefits did you notice once you started practicing consistently? I noticed my balance and flexibility improve significantly! Also found myself moving more freely and with more comfort, as well as feeling less anxiety in my daily life. What would you now tell yourself before you started practicing yoga? To give yourself grace, and not get discouraged when falling out of routine. It’s never too late to jump back in! ![]() Photo by Davies Designs Studio on Unsplash "The real spiritual progress of the aspirant is measured by the extent to which he achieves inner tranquility." - Swami Sivananda This blog post is part of our Yoga Sutras series. Want to start at the beginning? Yoga Sutra 3.10 तस्य प्रशान्तवाहिता संस्कारात् tasya praśāntavāhitā saṃskārāt By habitually calming the movement of the mind, a tranquil flow of consciousness is developed. No matter our external goals, I think we are all looking for more tranquility in our lives. Whether our mind races with anger or anxiety, is heavy with despondency or worry or is generally peaceful, a feeling of calm is always welcome.
That is why yoga is so attractive - especially in the frenetic world we are in right now. We are all looking for ways to increase and maintain a sense of peace. |
