My personal yoga journey
Â
When I wandered into an Iyengar yoga class at a stinky little gym in San Francisco in 1993, I had no idea that I was actually stepping into a meadow of enormous psychological, philosophical, and emotional wisdom. It wasn’t obvious at first. And in 1993, yoga was far from a household word. But despite the grumpy teacher and the dark and clangy environment, and though I didn’t know what I was doing or why, I kept going back. Something inside me knew yoga was something I needed. Twenty-nine years later, my yoga practice is in everything I do. It’s in the way I walk, the way I wait, where I walk, how I think, how I listen, and the words I speak. I couldn’t untwine it from my everyday life if I tried. Yoga was the beginning of the end of emotional pain for me. It connected me to my body, from which I had previously felt quite disconnected. Connecting to my body connected me to a sense of self and ultimately back to self-trust. After about ten years of personal practice, I earned my certification to teach from Alison West of Yoga Union in New York. I’ve been teaching, studying, and sharing this practice consistently ever since. Yoga is something rich and deep, and in the beginning you can only see so much. You can only see what somewhere inside you are ready to see. But then through the practice, you begin to change, and what you are ready for begins to expand. You see deeper, and deeper, and deeper. I hope you might step into this meadow of wisdom yourself. Let it transform you. And may you apply the poetry of the teachings to all aspects of your life.Â
