My yoga teaching is a mixture of Hatha, Iyengar and vinysa flow. I took my 1st yoga class in 1986 while still in college at CSULB. A very good friend “strongly suggested” that I needed to relax and that I should try yoga as a way to manage my stress level, which apparently I was not doing well- if at all- clearly to the detriment of those around me. I thank her still to this day because that 1st class impacted my life in ways I could never have imagined at that time.
