\"logo\"As a young woman in my teens and twenties, I was invincible. There was nothing I couldn’t do. I was relatively health conscious and active; firmly on the right path. Then reality took me down a notch. Marriage. Corporate job. Four kids. A busy life. There was no time. It was go, go, go…and my 30s were gone before I knew enough to miss them. I’m not complaining; I enjoyed my 30s for the most part…maybe a little too much. As my 40s approached, I got my first wake up call in the form of abnormal test results from a routine physical. All of a sudden, my cloak of invincibility disappeared in a puff of smoke. It’s amazing the impact a small glimpse of mortality can have on your perspective.<\/p>\n

As my body declared a full scale mutiny, I was forced to consider how I envisioned the my quality of my life in 10…20…30 years. And what was I prepared to do about it? It is my belief that the quality of life of our senior years is the direct result of our actions in our formative ones. In retrospect, while I didn’t do a horrible job in my 20s and 30s, I certainly could have done a better one. As the mother of 3 daughters (and one son), I wanted to better for my kids. I wanted to provide a better example. And…I wanted better for myself.<\/p>\n

Studies have shown that we are better able to affect real, positive, long-term changes in our health and wellness when we partner up with other individuals with similar goals. Mutual support, encouragement, and motivation are a key factors to success. This, coupled with a desire to spare others the disadvantages of my mistakes, led me to begin organizing fitness programs for the women in my community. I networked with fitness professionals to bring to our community centre  women’s boot camp, pilates, and kickboxing classes, as well as girls’ badminton classes. But every time I tried to organize a yoga session, the arrangements always fell through. Personally, I love yoga. I love the way it makes me feel refreshed and renewed physically. I love the feeling of centredness I feel after class, the increased patience, and the renewed calmness of mind.  I wanted to share that experience with the women of my community as well, but it seemed as if the universe was set against me!  Until I realized that this wasn’t an obstacle, but rather an opportunity.<\/p>\n

In 2013, I made the decision to begin my training as a yoga instructor. Teaching yoga is an incredibly rewarding experience. I love to watch my students grow stronger and more confident in their practice.  I love when they take a moment to share with me the positive impact their practice has had on their lives off the mat. And I love the impact each of them has on my own growth and development as a teacher…and I feel honoured that they choose to keeping coming back to share this experience with me, class after class after class.<\/p>\n
