Why I Practice:
In my very first Yoga class I experience the most complete feeling I ever had.
I understood what was meant by Body, Mind, Spirit connection. I felt a strength and calmness
that gave me such confidence to do so much and feel so good about myself. Creating Yoga Vita
was one of the many accomplishments I derived from my Yoga practice.
Why I Teach: Two words I have heard people use to describe me ~ "enthusiastic" and "generous"
I want people to experience what my teachers guided me to experience.
I welcome you to join me at Yoga Vita
