I have taught yoga for 10 years and practiced yoga for over 15 years. I got into yoga after an injury to help manage back and neck pain. Yoga was and continues to be a lifesaver for me. After a yoga class, my body not only feels better but I am at peace. Over the years yoga has helped me sleep better and my body just feels better. I am less reactive and I am much more compassionate with others.
The positive mind-body benefits of yoga are infinite and yoga/meditation are key to developing inner peace. I believe we would have a much more peaceful planet if everyone would develop their own inner peace. I think yoga is the ultimate mind-body experience and sincerely hope you find a class that resonates with you. Namaste!
