My journey with yoga began when I was 16, during a class where I experienced the subtle magic of lying in a supine twist. I still remember the feeling of spaciousness that unfurled in my body and the awakening of prana, the energetic life force, flowing through me. That moment stayed with me.

Years later, at 25, I established a regular practice under the guidance of Jackie Morton. During a time marked by loss, anxiety, and depression, I then found Pippa Francis's (Hartford Yoga’s) class, and something shifted. Yoga became more than movement. It became a lifeline. It brought me clarity, resilience, and a deeper sense of self. I found strength in my body and peace in my mind. The tension began to melt, and the heaviness lifted. I learned to let go of anger and resentment, making space for light.
