A:  I am originally from the Madison, Wisconsin area.  A small town of only 10,000 people called Monroe to be exact,  A.K.A. the cheese capital of the world!!

 

Q:  Why did you start practicing yoga?  How often do you practice each week?

A:  I started practicing yoga because I wanted to lower my stress and still get a great work out in. Usually I practice between 2-3 times a week.

 

Q:  Have you noticed any changes in your life since you started regularly practicing yoga?

A:  Yes, I sleep amazingly!! I also notice that I'm more chill with things when I am practicing yoga regularly. 

 

 

Q:  What do you like most about attending classes at tYp?

A:  I love the variety of times classes are offered and it's super convenient for me since I work in the building:)
 

 

Q:  What are your goals for your yoga practice?  

A:  To keep my practice up even when life gets chaotic and very "busy."

 

Q:  What is your favorite yoga pose and why?  

A:  I love tree pose for some reason. I guess it's that whole centering thing!

 

Q:  What is something you'd like to reveal that people don't know about you?

A:  I moved to Los Angeles knowing only 1 person and I  have truly made it my home over the past ten years. Through all the ups and downs life has brought, I have  managed to meet some of the most AMAZING people along the way. I feel so lucky and blessed to live here. Yoga gives, me a chance to reflect and practice my gratitude.  Thanks Denise, you are truly an inspiring teacher and I'm so glad you started the studio when you did. I knew you would grow the studio to be what it is today:) I'm so happy I can be apart of it.

 

Namaste!
