I first fell in love with yoga in 1991 during a ski holiday in Vail, CO with childhood friend Fenella Zimmern. Fenella had just returned from India, was in the midst of her teacher training in London and happy to share her new passion.
Fenella went back to England to become a fabulous teacher and eventually to develop the Yoga Bugs™ program (seeYogaBugs.com).
I went on to have a couple of babies and forget about yoga in an effort to stay on top of the laundry. When I realized it was time to find a passion outside of being a wife and mother, I made a very clear intention about finding my life’s passion. After a friend’s repeated encouragement to join her yoga class-I was finally ready to make room for it. During that first class it all came back to me-how much I loved yoga in every fiber of my being. I began signing up for classes wherever I could find them including week long conferences in San Francisco and Orlando.
After moving to Federal Way I made another intention (feeling very successful at the whole intention thing) to find a Hatha yoga teacher not more than 5 minutes from my house that could challenge me. Two weeks later at a school auction I bid on and won a life changing series of yoga classes from Jeni Martinez who became a dear mentor, teacher, friend – and now partner.
Do you know how you are on the right path? The most amazing teachers keep taking your hand and helping you with your footing down that path.
It is my hope to be able to provide a hand for others.
