Y’all already know I love yoga, but you might not know that I don’t depend solely on yoga for my fitness or use it as my main form of exercise. I actually found yoga as a cross-training activity (before I really knew what yoga was) for running. So even my reason for initially practicing yoga is rooted in these activities. My reason for practicing yoga now has evolved into something much more—but that’s for a different post.

Why am I writing this?

Because these other activities have played a major role in shaping who I am as a yoga student and teacher. My needs, my priorities, and my education have been shaped by these hobbies. When you know what is important to me and what I like, you understand why I teach the way I do and you know the specific benefits you will reap by practicing with me.
