How did you get started in Yoga? I started my yoga practice over 20 years ago. At the time, my practice was more about increasing flexibility and building strength. Over the years my practice has evolved. Although I still appreciate all of the benefits on the body, my practice is now about finding balance and being more mindful about what my body needs as well as exploring the benefits for the mind and soul. What does yoga mean to you in your life today? To me, yoga is the practice of meeting yourself on your mat. Its a practice of mindfulness and its also a practice of awareness of your body, your breath and your thoughts. When we take the time to slow down we can become aware of what we need, either in our practice, or in our lives.

How did you get started in yoga? My intro to Yoga came with a curiosity about stretching. I used to run long distance and slowly began to explore different styles of stretching more deeply. Around this time a good friend introduced me to meditation. As a result, I was lead to Yoga asana and began reading books and watching videos and DVDs. Eventually I gave up running and began to focus more deeply on Yoga and meditation gradually developing a consistent practice over the past 17 years. What does yoga mean to you in your life today? Yoga to me is all about striving for sacred balance in all areas including mind, body and spirit. It's also about establishing and learning to maintain authentic connections to self and others. I'm a recovering addict working a lifelong program of recovery from active addiction; this life path and Yoga practice compliment one another beautifully. One of my spirit guides always reminds me that spiritual...
