“I’m About to Teach My First Class…”
Before starting yoga, I worked long hours in a stuffy office. Looking back on it, the work wasn’t healthy for me. I was always stressed and unsatisfied. I decided to try yoga. I will never forget my first yoga class—how challenging, refreshing, and invigorating the whole experience was. It changed my life.! After practicing for 6 months, I decided to take a chance and join the teacher training course… and now, I’m about to teach my first class! I feel so lucky because now, I’m now able to share something I love with others. This common energy and connected passion is what inspires me. It’s contagious!”
