“In 2002, I completed my first yoga teacher training, Let It Go Yoga with Sue Anne and Jim Parsons, and am now celebrating my 20 years as a yoga teacher. This training helped me personally and gave me a great foundation professionally. This training was perfect for me, I remember the Love Letters exercise we did, which helped me let go of stuck energy towards others and created a sense of freedom. Also in the training, while practicing the yoga postures, I remember Sue Anne saying – Honor your body, don’t injure yourself. I now say this same great advice to my students. I love teaching yoga to everyone from children to seniors.”
