To add to what I wrote above...
I started in the fitness industry when I was 16 years old. I became group exercise certified in 1987 and taught classes for 10 years. I graduated wth a BS in Exercise Science with a minor in Nutrition in 1993 and had my own personal training business. I did personal training/nutrition counseling full-time for four years out of a gym and at people's homes and had four trainers working under me. Over the next several years I went back to school for a Masters in Education (I taught full-time for four years), managed a personal training studio, and went to school to get a liscence in Cosmetology. Over this time, I continued to stay involved in the industry personal training and teaching yoga. (I started teaching yoga in 1999.)
Currently I work as a full-time hairdresser/ make-up artist. I teach 7-9 yoga classes a week, and I do personal training. I consider yoga to be my passion, and regularly attend workshops, classes, and seminars to continue learning and deepening my own practice. I feel so blessed that I truly love everything that I do!
