Soul Hot Yoga
I discovered yoga in 2003 as a way to keep my body in shape while training as a professional ballerina. Over the past eight years what I have found on my mat has changed the direction of my life in a profound way. Yoga has given me the strength to walk through life with eyes bright and heart open. I choose to smile each day at those passing by in hopes to put a little joy into the lives of the people around me. Yoga is uplifting and enlightening while providing a sense of grounding that simply cannot be found elsewhere. I live thanks to Prana. Prana is Now. Atha exists in stillness. Yoga gets me there.

Much to her continued happiness and bragging rights, it was my mother who brought me to my first yoga class. As much an effort to get me off the couch as to have me doing something I enjoyed, yoga showed me an outlet for my physical flexibility as well as stretching out those areas commonly plaguing students. After this initial class my practice was all but eliminated until my final year of university, when I found the time to start going to classes again. Starting up again on the mat reminded me of what I felt in my first few classes, and my once-a-week practice expanded into multiple visits to studios. When I convocated (with my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology) and moved home I knew I had to keep yoga an essential element in my life. In my initial years of practicing I sought out...
