My best friend, Lynsey Bates has been a real inspiration to my practice. In 2015 she invited me to class and its been a part of my life ever since. Lynsey’s continued support encourages me to grow in my practice and it’s always fun taking classes together.

 

How many classes do you take per week?

I usually get 5 classes a week, and 6 if I am lucky.

 

How does yoga help your daily life?

I like to practice yoga in the mornings, it gives me energy and awareness to start my days.

 

If any, what obstacles has the practice of yoga help you overcome?

Practicing yoga has played a huge part in eliminating my lower back pain and allows me to commit time for myself.

 

Do you have any advice for your fellow yogi’s new to the practice?

Yoga changed my life in so many positive ways….its likely to do the same for you. Give it try!!
