My Practice

Practicing yoga for about ten years. I practice Mysore-Style Ashtanga Yoga 5 to 6 days per week. My practice, which I share with a friendly group of fellow early morning crazies, continues to bring me peace and a sense of community. Also, I have a home practice of Restorative Yoga, and I aim to get to restorative class more often in 2015.

In addition to yoga, I also run and/or do some form of weights or barre-type toning two to three times per week. And I walk. A lot.
