How did you get into yoga and how long have you been practising it?
About eight years ago I was seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor as I was simply exhausted, and it was leading to some health issues. I found out I desperately needed to balance my nervous system. I went from six functional or high-intensity training classes a week to none and took up yoga at a local studio. Seeing the benefit to my mind and body only made me want to dive deeper. Yoga led me to meditation, which led me to breathwork, and I continue to dive deeper and deeper into the practice.
