I began to practice yoga in 2004 to ease pain and stiffness I was experiencing post-surgery from scoliosis. My first Savasana came as a surprise, showing me the possibility to transform pain and physical limitations into something else. For the first time in years, I felt some relief, accompanied with an ease within the body. Yoga helped me work through the difficulties and pain which accompany scoliosis (still a work in progress), and I was very inspired to share the healing benefits of yoga with other people through teaching.
