Bikram Yoga Yorktown

Bikram Yoga Yorktown

I started to practice Bikram Yoga in October, 2011. I was in the midst of battling with anger, depression, and anxiety. After hearing about Bikram Yoga in a course I took in college, I was determined to start. I knew I needed something new and different in my life. I was aware that I needed to improve myself. Yoga became my home, my peace, my love. I was able to stand in front of myself, look into my eyes..and know that no matter what I had been through in life - the good, the bad, the happy, and the sad... everything was going to be alright. I was able to see the truth within me.  Being aware of the truth, I was able to look at myself and realize who I really was with acceptance, without judgement, attachment, regret, or disappointment. With my practice I was able to achieve this day by day. I knew that no matter how my day was, I had a place where I could detached from all my worries and stresses. I realized how much my life had improved ever since I started Bikram Yoga. I knew that I wanted to be able to improve other individuals lives, just like mine was improved. I wanted to spread yoga to all of those in need of healing, where for its physical, mental, or spiritual benefits. Shortly after, in the spring of 2013, with the help of our wonderful studio (Jane and Jack) I became a certified Bikram Yoga Instructor. Till this day, Yoga continues to heal me and allows me to find my balance in every way you can imagine. Yoga helped me heal through a car accident in 2015 that fractured my neck. Yoga was there to support me through my first pregnancy in 2016. And yoga continues to guide me through the path of love, light, and acceptance. My goal as a teacher is to bring balance and peace into your day. I teach with a mind and a heart full of love and understanding. In our constant search for peace and balance. I know that life is full of ups and downs and that everyday is a different day on our mats.
