I was a tomboy growing up and then fell into the world of theatre and musical theatre. A girlfriend introduced me to yoga in college and I was hooked. I didn't really know anything about it except that it was the highlight of my week.

I went from practicing once or twice a week to several hours everyday. I loved it.

There is plenty of room for us all to succeed and carve our own path.

Everyone needs to start somewhere.
