Favorite Asana
I love Adho Mukha Vrksasana-handstands.  I like feeling my “child nature” when I practice handstands.  It brings out the playful side of me!

I Have Studied Yoga Since
In 1991, I read the Bhagavad Gita, and it inspired me to learn more about yoga and start my study of the asanas.  I remember my first yoga class very clearly.  It really blew my mind away and I saw the interconnectedness of yoga philosophy with the physical aspect of the postures.  I purchased an Iyengar book and started my home practice the next morning.

I Knew I Loved Yoga When
.I was getting up every morning to practice at 4am and integrating the ideas of yoga into my life
