My journey on the path of yoga began after years of teaching and managing fitness programs. I started to feel the wear and tear of too many high impact aerobics classes and a lack of balance in my personal life. I was teaching at a spa and managing a small fitness center in Telluride, Colorado where we had several yoga teachers and massage therapists on staff. The yoga teachers and body workers all seemed to have a sense of balance and inner peace that I longed for. So I decided to move back to Chicago to become a yoga teacher and massage therapist. The journey was difficult and, at times, intense, but it opened me up to a world that is ever expanding. I realized that through my own restorative journey I would have more to offer my students and clients as they embark on their own healing paths. Yoga is an ancient tradition that can open the door to self-healing and cultivates a deeper sense of self-awareness, balance and clarity of mind. I am grateful to be on this path and look forward to sharing the experiences of yoga with you.
