Journey to Yoga: My first experience with yoga was one summer during a colorguard practice in high school. After a few years, while in college, I bought a Groupon to a yoga studio and tried a few classes there. I enjoyed it and was left wanting to try a few more classes, but I was a broke college student and couldn’t afford it. In 2018, my good friend brought me to 405 YOGA and I never turned back. I began working as a shift leader at the studio, deepened my yoga practice, and eventually went through yoga teacher training. My first month of teacher training, the world shut down due to the pandemic. Though it was an incredibly difficult time to go through training, we pursued and eventually I graduated! Yoga brings me peace when the world outside feels out of control. Yoga has also introduced me to a community of incredibly kind individuals.
