I always tell him he should write a book entitled "the poor man's workout" haha

Bio:
I have been practicing Yoga for about 15 Years, back then I was a big runner and after suffering a few injuries a sports therapist I was seeing recommended Yoga. I fell in love with it. I loved how invigorated, yet relaxed and calm it made me feel. I became certified to teach about a year and 1/2 ago, after leaving my job as a Textile Designer in NYC. I decided teaching would give me a chance to spend more time with my kids who are now 4 and 6 and keep me in shape, so it was a win-win for me. I didn't realize how much I would love it, and how much joy it brings me to know people enjoy my classes.
