Now I maintain a yoga practice to prevent becoming overwhelmed by life's inevitable struggles. It is a powerful tool in my arsenal to fight for and maintain wellness. Being a teacher is beautiful because I am able to share this resource with others, fully believing in the magic and healing power of the yoga.
