Deep Roots Yoga Studio 

I took my first yoga class literally the day after my daughter’s last volleyball game her senior year of high school in November 2009.  My mom duties were symbolically over and it was finally “me” time.  I was hooked from the first class even though my body felt like it was trying to speak a foreign language.  Over the last ten years, my body has gotten stronger, my confidence has grown and my stress levels are lower.  I started yoga for the physical benefits but have been overwhelmed by the unexpected mental benefits:  calmness, contentment, and acceptance, among many more.  I have met some of the coolest, most incredible people through my practice and continue to do so every day.  The yoga community has some of the warmest and most accepting folks you’ll ever meet.  (Shout out to Christi Tracy of GROW YTT for helping me learn so much about myself in YTT 200 hours!) So, I advise everyone to give yoga a try.  I promise you’ll get so much more out of than you can even imagine. Namaste

My yoga journey began when I was encouraged by Jan to visit my first yoga class over 10 years ago at a gym. The more I practiced, the more intrigued I became with everything about it. It is a continuous journey to which you never stop learning. Learning about your body, about quieting the mind, about having connection with your spirit and with others. Yoga has changed my life. After practicing for  those 10 years, I was encouraged to take yoga teacher training (YTT) and it was the best thing that I have EVER done for myself.  I believe that yoga is for EVERY body. No matter your age, size or physical shape... we all can benefit from a yoga practice. I continue to be amazed at all the ways that Yoga has enriched my life. I am a registered 200 hour teacher through Yoga Alliance/Grow Yoga Teacher Training from my mentor & friend, Christi Tracy, and in the process of my 500 hour YTT.
