ALI: I started practicing yoga out of desperation at a time when I was really down. After my very first class, I felt like I could take a deep breath for the first time in awhile-- and it gave me hope. I love that the practice of yoga can offer so many things but demands nothing-- it can be all at once meditative, calming, healing and a great workout! I was certified through the Prana Power Yoga teacher training program and enjoy teaching a challenging Vinyasa flow

She had always exercised to help relieve the stress and tension from her job, but as time went on her normal routine was not working. She constantly suffered from neck, shoulder, and lower back pain and often felt fatigued and depressed. Though massage therapy worked temporarily for her ailments, it did not help her chronic conditions. After taking her first yoga class Linda noticed an immediate difference in how she felt both mentally and physically. As her practice continued her syptoms of stress slowly began to fade. It was her yoga practice that motivated Linda to return to school where she received her M.Ed. in Health Promotion with a concentration in Exercise Science.
