I’ll start with a ‘fess up’.
I was once the lycra-clad fitness club manager in leg warmers and a headband, echoing Jane Fonda’s “Go for the burn” and Richard Simmon’s “Wake up and breathe!”
My fascination with fitness probed deeper into the body/mind connection, eventually leading me to a black belt in Kung Fu.
I was young and fit and assumed my frequent back pain was normal.
When I went to my first yoga class, the teacher’s eyes struck a deep chord within me. She had something I really wanted. It was the gentle clarity in her eyes, an ease of being and a caring sense of acceptance that I began to recognize in my most influential teachers.
I am deeply grateful to my teachers - including my Mom who was a yoga teacher before yoga was mainstream - for pointing me home to clarity, ease, and well-being. It feel better in my body now in my late fifties than I did in my twenties and I have more ease and joy in my heart.
Now, my clients are also my teachers as they learn to move better, get out of pain, and into well-being so they can do what they love to do, longer into life.
It brings me joy to see my clients learn to accept themselves for who they are and come home to clarity and ease.
Ease of being is within you, right now. Sometimes we need another to point us home. I’m here for you.
