Coming into this Yoga Teacher Training I did not know what to expect. I knew it would be hard work. I knew it would change my life. I knew it was bringing me closer to my future and by the time it was over I would understand why I had the pull to call that fateful day to sign up. In January, I did not know what it would bring. On the first day we had to write a word on a symbol – I chose ‘calm’ on a crescent moon. As this training comes to an end and I am starting to yet agai

Born and raised on Long Island, NY I always felt that I never truly fit in, no matter how hard I tried. For starters, it didn't help that I was born with a hemangioma, (Blood Tumor) on the right side of my face. The tumor appeared to get smaller but I was just growing into the size of it.
