Completed my first yoga teacher training. I began practicing yoga around 1999, at age 16. It had been a source of comfort for me through some very difficult times in my youth, and I was eager to offer the tools of yoga to others. So, in 2011, I undertook a nearly year-long journey to become a yoga teacher. It was a life-changing growth experience, the lessons of which I am still absorbing 10 years later.
