The very first yoga class I ever took I had an experience during shavasana. I felt like I was hovering between asleep and awake. It was truly a profound moment. This doesn’t happen often to me and usually when I least expect it, but I love it. I knew right off that yoga was worth doing.

What I love   I love waking up two hours before I have to leave the house in the morning. I love the slow approach to seizing the day.

Why power yoga   I love the rush of a good flushing sweat. I love the way I feel lighter in my body and spirit after class.

Home   I grew up in Leominster Massachusetts with two younger brothers and two older sisters. I now live in Hollis, New Hampshire.

Favorite Word    One of my favorite words is total dehydroxylation.

What inspires me    I’m inspired by watching strangers be kind to one another.
