When was the last time you did something for the first time?

Oh, that happens all the time! I just went to Japan and China for work for the first time. I might go try a new recipe for the first time tonight. . .!

What are your goals for 2016 and beyond?
To always be inspired and happy whatever form that may take.

 

How would you describe your first yoga experience?
Unpleasant! I didn't like the teacher and had no plans on returning. It was my good friend who talked me into trying a different class and then I got hooked. . .thank god for her!

Who has influenced you the most in your life?

My parents. Their love and support means the world to me.

What is your favourite yoga pose and why?

I love Crow Pose because it's so versatile and helps people feel playful and empowered.
