Yoga is… my escape pod to slow down and reset.

To my mighty, Mighty family,

As many of you have heard through the grapevine that is a small town and a small yoga community, I am moving to Montreal. After almost six years in Ithaca and five years at Mighty Yoga, I will be moving in order to live with my partner while he completes a post-doc at McGill University.

Occupation: Firefighter/EMT

Favorite yoga pose: Standing balance poses- I love the focus required, and I feel like a figure skater!

Yoga is… Transformational. I can walk in to a class feeling tired, angry, or sad and within minutes, as the sweat and breathing begin to flow, everything gets cleared away. I leave class full of clear, positive energy.
