Yoga

 I started studying yoga postures, pranayama, meditation, the Yoga Sutras, and the Bhagavad Gita with Dharma Mittra in New York City in early 2000. I have more than 1,900 classroom hours of study with Dharma. I am also a student of Paramahansa Yogananda’s Self Realization Fellowship, and I hold 200-hour certification from Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Forest Academy.

Though I’ve learned a lot of big fancy poses, yoga has taught me that big fancy poses are not important. I’ve also learned that I am not my body or my mind, and that whatever I’m experiencing is perfect for me regardless of what thoughts I might have about it.
