Yoga is a practice that nearly everyone has encountered in some way, from kids practicing along with YouTube videos to older adults stretching in retirement communities. But while many of us have experienced a form of yoga, how well do we truly understand what it is?

Yoga has been a cornerstone of my life for years, but I didn’t always know it would play such a big role in my journey. In fact, when I first encountered yoga, I had no idea it would become a lifelong passion and my career. I’d like to share a bit about how I went from casually practicing yoga to owning a yoga studio and teaching others to become instructors through my own Yoga Teacher Training program.
