on the mat this August

I began my yoga journey with no idea of what to expect—thinking I’d signed up for some light stretching at my gym, I was surprised when a beginner class left my arms sore for days.

​

My yoga journey began in 2005 as a complement to my workouts, but it wasn’t until 2010—after being diagnosed with chronic migraines—that I truly discovered its healing power.

My yoga journey started at a gym, where I attended a class expecting to relax—but it turned out to be much more challenging than I imagined.

I took my first yoga class for credit as a college freshman, loved it, and immediately took it again the next semester.

My movement journey truly began in 2017, while I was training for a marathon and suffered an injury. Yoga became my tool for healing — helping me stay strong, recover, and continue training.

I began my yoga journey in 2007 in Riverside, California. I had just moved there to begin my graduate work in dance.

My yoga journey started in 2018, when my college roommate brought me to a 26&2 class. I quickly felt the effects yoga had on my mind and body, it became like a daily medicine.

​

During my engagement, I had paralyzing wedding anxiety. My then-fiancé was attending a weekly meditation evening, and one week I joined him....

​

My yoga journey started during a very stressful event in my life which kept my nervous system in a constant state of “fight and flight.”
