I'm in love with Yoga

The love story started when I was 13 and got the Wii with Wii Fit for Christmas. The Wii was the sh*t back in 2008. Even though now I realize that the yoga on Wii Fit placed incorrect emphasis on placement and alignment and whatnot, it's what piqued my interest. 

When I was 15 and wanted to go to an actual studio I googled studios in the area and found Michelle Star Yoga. My very first Kripalu class with her I fell head over heels in love. Michelle is my inspiration. I went every week, then eventually a few times a week when I worked as her receptionist at the studio. I loved going there so much, it was a second home to me, so peaceful, purple, and smelling of lavender :-). It was there, one day, just reading a yoga magazine, I knew that even if it was just a short period of my life, I wanted to be a yoga teacher.

So I did. 

Every time I get on my mat I feel that wonderful energy and warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Even if it takes a few minutes for me to get into "yoga mode". That feeling you get when you're passionate about something. You just wanna go out and show everyone in the world. Well, I'm trying. 

I don't care if it's yoga or not, everyone should have something that makes them feel like I do. Something to be passionate about, in love with. 

I will never get tired of hearing people talk about the things they love, it warms my heart. 

Peace out,
