How long have you been practicing yoga?
My yoga practice began about 6 or 7 years ago. Curiosity and friendship brought me to class.
What was your first introduction to yoga like?
In the beginning of my yoga practice, I had mixed emotions about whether I liked the different positions. They felt awkward to me, especially the aspect of letting go in savasana. The very first class gave me some release of stress. Bottled emotions poured out in the form of silent tears. I embraced the mental clarity and stillness. I knew I had to continue for my emotional health.
What are the main benefits you have enjoyed from practicing yoga?
Breathing exercises benefit me. Prior to learning the correct techniques, my pattern was shallow breathing. Increased oxygen flow has resulted in better focus, positive thoughts and more energy. I used this form of life force to successfully enhance and direct a healing energy during recent surgeries.
What is your favorite part of a yoga class or favorite pose?
Balancing poses are my favorite. That is the area where I have more immediate success.
