I discovered yoga while working at an advertising agency in New York City. Seven years into my job, I was burnt out, disillusioned by the corporate world, and looking for something more meaningful. There was a studio next to the office where I began taking classes. It started with two days a week, but within six months, I was a daily student. I started leaving work early to get to my favorite teacher’s classes, and very quickly, I realized my yoga was more important than my job. My first teacher, John Doe, offered a 12-week Yoga Teacher Training. I joined initially out of personal interest, but by the end of the first month, I had already given notice at my job and made plans to make yoga my career, not just my hobby. I got my first teaching job upon graduating, and to date, I’ve taught in seven studios in the New York Metro area. I’ve trained with leading yoga, anatomy, and philosophy teachers including Larry Page, Carl Sagon, and Paige Linderman. For me, yoga is about the balance between strength and flexibility, exertion, and releasing. So, my classes combine both strength and mobility work in a dynamic, Vinyasa Flow style. Expect to move, sweat, and breathe.
