I can't really say when I found first found yoga - it honestly feels more like yoga found me - and once it did, it held on tight and has yet to let go. I took my first class at a small smelly studio - with carpet! - and it was love at first sweat. That was more than 15 years ago but I didn't fully embrace a consistent and dedicated practice until about 9 years ago.

Today, yoga is not something I do, it's more who I am. It informs every facet of my life, lights me up from the inside out like a candle, and brings me to my knees exactly when I need it most. It has leveled me and turned my priorities and my life upside down. Maybe the biggest lesson was discovering I could not type-A muscle my way through yoga; I could not bend it to my will. Rather it bent and shaped me, making me softer and kinder. At some point I surrendered, and just like that, the crushing weight of doing, running, thinking, achieving, it all lifted. Being content, understanding enough, something shifted. And continues to do so, bit by peaceful bit. Today, I am not sure where I am headed. And yet, I have never been more certain that I am going in the right direction. Yoga lights the way.
