What is the most essential part of practice for you?
Maintaining the balance of Sthira and Sukha and learning to decipher the time and place for one or the other! I love this practice because it has taught me the need for and importance of each.
I began my yoga practice as a teenager and it has been one of the greatest constants in my life ever since. I remember trying to scrounge together enough money to be able to attend yoga classes at my local studio – I was absolutely enamored! This practice has taught + given me more than I can even begin to put into words and my hope is that I can help you discover your practice as well.
