I first started practicing yoga in February 2018 to help with the stress and anxiety I was dealing with in my life at the present time. At first, I thought to myself, “no way, this isn’t for you” but I called a few studios in the area and I instantly connected with Sarah from AYO. She was very welcoming and I just knew this is the place I needed to be.
My first class was amazing! It was one of the toughest, but most rewarding forms of exercise I have ever done. I used to take spin classes and practice Tang Soo Do karate regularly, but yoga was so much more rewarding. After a few classes I knew this was for me, and I signed up for a monthly membership. Physically and mentally this has been the best I felt since I was in my 20’s, and I’m 52 years young! Since I’ve been practicing, my anxiety and stress level has all but disappeared.
With the recommendation from Sarah I took my level 1 teachers training in September 2019 at Amazing Yoga under the direction of Sean and Karen Conley. I look forward to passing on all I have learned and experienced with current and new students!
After high school I decided to enlist in the United States Air Force. I spent two years living in Japan and traveling all over the Asian Pacific region before finishing my enlistment in Texas.
