I was initially drawn to yoga specifically to lengthen my muscles and to counteract the tightness from my consistent running and weight training regimen. I have always held a superior interest in nutrition and fitness, and I yearned to learn more. As I delved deeper into yoga, I discovered numerous benefits along the way and consequently, developed a strong passion for it. Herein, I decided that I wanted to further my knowledge of yoga and share it with others, by way of teaching. I enjoyed my teacher-training program tremendously, and learned a lot about myself amidst it. I am excited to continue expanding my learning through workshops, literature, and my teaching experiences, and to share my knowledge and passion with others. I feel that my previous roles of being a leader and mentor will aid my in my yoga teachings. Moreover, I have obtained my Bachelor of Education degree at York University, which has only furthered enhanced my skills in teaching yoga. I have had the opportunity to teach grade 3 and grade 6 students at my practicum placements. I hope to integrate yoga into my future elementary school teaching experiences.
