List 3 interesting/random things about you:
1. I decided I wanted to start teaching yoga when I still a newbie myself. I had been practicing for maybe three months when the two owners of the studio asked if I was participating in the teacher training program. I hesitated at first, but going through with it has been one of the best things I've ever done.
2. I try to take at least one challenging hike a week. When I'm not at the yoga studio I'm out exploring some new trail that someone has told me about.
3. I'm kind of obsessed with Kirtan. Kirtan is a very different kind of music based on ancient chants. The lead singer will call out the chant and everyone else responds to them. It's incredibly spiritual and amazing. I love participating as a singer and listening to various artists on itunes.
List 3 things you look for in a friend:
1. People who will actually read my journal and take an interest in what I have to say. Ask me questions about my life and such, I can guarantee I'll be asking you questions as I read, I like getting to know people.
2. People who post on a variety of subjects and include pictures. I love reading journals with an added photo or two every now and then. Often times pictures can say what words never can.

Why do you think people would enjoy reading and commenting on your posts?
I'm different; I like all kinds of things. I do things that a lot of people only dream about. I take risks and live my life to the fullest.
Tell us about your life and what you want to do with it:
I just finished my 200hr certification as a yoga teacher through the studio where I practice. I'm hoping to become a Baptiste certified instructor. This would mean attending several week long trainings over the next few years in addition to practicing and teaching constantly. I've really fallen in love with the Baptiste style of yoga and the community of yogis here.
If you could swap lives with a person for a week, who would it be and why?
My Partner. His life is almost the opposite of mine. It would be interesting to see my life through his eyes and experience his life first hand.
Make up your own question and answer it: Why do you practice asana as much as you do?
The asana practice has really changed my life over the past fifteen months. It helped open my heart and my mind and helped me find my partner. It has also shown me where I need to change and grow. I practice to gain new perspective and insight on things in my life and change for the better. Also its a pretty amazing workout.
