Came for the stretch

Stayed for the:

Renewed self love

Appreciation for what my body is capable of

An antitode to anxiety

Deeper listening to calls for rest

More gratitude for the ability to move

Discovered connection of breath to the mind

The sense of nurturing a community

Wonderful teachers that inspire by just being themselves

Creativity in sequencing

Music that brings you straight into presence on the mat

Recovery from the runs and workouts

Education on the origins and fascinating history of yoga

Learning to integrate the other 7 limbs of yoga in daily life

A peace like no other

Simplicity that comes from simply listening and moving

Just a few reasons I practice yoga, teach yoga and continue to learn, practice by practice.
