How did you first get into yoga
I got into yoga semi-accidentally. A friend of mine suggested a yoga app and I remember thinking: “Whatever, I’m never gonna use an app and do yoga!” But I was going through a pretty stressful time in my life, plus I was in a lot of pain and looking for something to help my body, so I tried it one day in my bedroom (no yoga mat, and I might have been wearing jeans and socks!) and I remember at the end of the class, I was surprised at how peaceful I felt. I immediately started another class! At the same time, I discovered Instagram and all the yogis on there. Suddenly, I was transformed as this practice and all the people around the world I was connecting with were filling my life with something that made me feel amazing. I didn’t understand what was happening at the time, but as I look back I see now that I was finally giving myself a chance to listen to my body and pay attention to the beautiful and magical connection between the breath and the mind.
What inspired you in those early days
It was the big Instagram yogis at first. But then there were so many others that I learned from and who inspired me as I discovered more and more of the online yoga community. Not just the big names, but just other yoga practitioners from all over the world who were sharing things that made me think: “Oh cool, I didn’t know that was yoga!”
