After teaching yoga part-time for 24 years I finally took a leap of faith and began my full-time yoga teaching and therapy business in May 2011. I have loved every day since. I am teaching what I love and it’s a great pleasure to watch my students get fitter and improve their healthy. Seeing my students transform into stronger, healthier, calmer people is a huge reward that gives a sense of satisfaction.
