My children led me to yoga but yoga led me to myself. That's what I love about yoga is that it is the whole package; body, mind and spirit. I love that while you are doing a pose there is no other place you can be except there, in that moment inside your physical, mental and emotional body. I find it exhilarating that you can do a rigorous practice or a restorative practice and still end up feeling rejuvenated and renewed.
I decided after 10 years of practicing for myself that I needed and wanted to take yoga to another level. I found amazing teachers and received my 200 hour certification with Aimee Senise Bohn at Midtown Athletic Club in Rochester, NY in 2013.
Yoga has led me not only to myself but to find and meet extraordinary human beings. We all have a unique story to tell that will be constantly changing and evolving. Yoga fits in perfectly with that process. Yoga is a discipline that teaches us something new every time we step onto our mats even if we are doing the same pose that we have done many times before. That is because our bodies and our minds will never be the same so our poses will have to change with our ever evolving selves.
Yoga is a beautiful teacher and guide to help us reconnect, unplug and be present in the moment. There is nothing more important than breathing in and breathing out-making us live in the only place we should; the now.
I so look forward to growing, learning and teaching yoga. It is one of my passions and it brings me a sense of peace and grounding. I encourage you to find yours too. I look forward to meeting you on your mat.
Namaste,
Alison
