Before you Begin…

I am passionate about...

Yoga is...

"By cultivating attitudes of friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous and disregard toward the wicked, the mind-stuff retains its undisturbed calmness." -Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, I.33 Write about what this means to you and how you live or try to live by this sutra in your daily life.

Tell a story about a time that was a turning point in your life. A time that you've been brought to your knees and how you got back up. By being vulnerable about fears, disappointment, and pain, we are able to turn fear into faith--in oneself and life itself--and inspire others to do the same.

Do you have a "day job?" If so, please describe.

Please tell us anything else you'd like to share with us about yourself!
