Student Spotlight - Lisa Kushner
   
Lisa KushnerI live a simple life.   A walk through the woods with my beautiful dogs, sharing a laugh with my children or just the satisfaction of preparing my favorite salad, makes my day.  I guess you can say I "live in the moment".  I truly appreciate the moments of each day; so, what does yoga do for me?  I found out the hard way that practicing yoga daily is essential to my well being.

When the economy tanked in '08, I economized by cutting back on yoga classes.  Big mistake!  All my life I have dealt with general anxiety and, in the last two years, some depression. For the fist time I suffered from mild depression that interfered with my daily life. I examined my routine and discovered the trigger for my physical and mental change.  I had stopped going to Verge!

It only took one class to be back on the path to good health.  Today, each class relases every bit of anxiety or restessness that I may be carrying around with me.  After practice I feel focused and ready to give back to those who may need attention.  I realize now to be the best I can be for my family and others I need to be on my mat every day.

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I absolutely love the intense and vibrant color of the trees.

When I'm not playing outside with my two dogs or in the kitchen baking, I enjoy a flexible balance between teaching and practicing at Verge Yoga, doing research at CHOP, and completing a post-bacalaurette program in the sciences at Penn.

Our new Verge Book Group will create a lively and enjoyable forum for yoga practitioners to get together and share their reading and thinking about what yoga means, and how it leaks off the mat into the rest of their livers. 

Our book group will be facilitated by Verge Yoga student and writer, Tony Chase.  He studied at Brown and Yale and the University of Paris and has taught at the University of Delaware and Haverford College.  As a nature and adventure writer for Conde Nast Traveler he's visited five continents and the Arctic Ocean and his work has been translated into several foreign languages.
