"When I began yoga 15 years ago, I had no idea that it would become my lifelong journey and calling. As a busy mother of 2 active boys, my yoga practice allows me to respond from a much calmer and centered space (most of the time!). Yoga has taught me to be present and to value the wisdom of the body and the many lessons it holds. As my practice has deepened, so has my awareness of the sacredness of everyday life. My practice has expanded to include so much more than just getting on my mat: a walk in the park, a beautiful sunset, watching my sons skateboard.  It is a journey that never ends. As I continue to bring a childlike sense of curiosity to both my yoga practice and life, it becomes wisdom in action, spirit in motion!”

With gratitude to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me on my path, most recently Jennifer Steed, Mary-Jo Fetterley, Kam Thye Chow, Richard Miller, Nischala Joy Devi.   To my husband and life partner, Doug who teaches me what true love and acceptance is, and to my "skateboarder" sons, Brendan and Andrew who teach me how to "really live in the moment".

Peace and Light,

Vickie
