My journey with yoga began when I was 40 years old and recovering from thyroid cancer.  I had three separate surgeries in three years and also a round of radiation that left me weak, frightened and wondering how I would gain not only my physical strength back, but more importantly, my emotional and spiritual strength. 

 

I stumbled on a yoga class that was scheduled to be a pilates class and was hooked!  Yoga provided me an opportunity to rebuild my strength at my own pace with no judgement.

As I became stronger physically, it allowed me to grow my emotional and spiritual strength too.  That is the essence of yoga - creating balance and harmony and taking what you have learned and applying it into your daily life.
