boarding.

wanted to go anywhere else!

I actually do like to sweat and love the flow of the vinyasa practice which is never quite the
same from class to class.

Q: Can you give a word or phrase that describes yoga to you?

Moving from mind chatter to a conversation between the breath and the body.

Q: What's your current favorite song to flow to?

Anything by Billie Eilish

In that space lies our power to choose our response.
And in our response lies our growth and freedom.”
