How did your yoga journey begin?
My yoga journey stared freshman year of college in Boulder, Colorado when a local Bikram studio offered 30 days of yoga for 30 dollars. A friend convinced me to try it and after those 30 days I felt a profound shift, was totally hooked, and knew I wanted to explore more.
How has yoga played a part in your prep for your wedding this summer?
Yoga continues to teach me the importance of remaining in the present, which has helped tremendously with wedding prep this summer. Even with a small wedding, there are lots of little details to iron out, especially with family traveling across the country to join us. I practice staying present in the fun and love of what the day is all about, and enjoying all of the little moments in the process of planning our special day.
If you could teach one dharma right now, what would it be and why?
In this crazy time in the world, I think it’s important to remember to practice kindness. It may sound simple, but is extremely powerful when practiced both toward ourselves and others. It can require courage and strength to be kind, but it has the power to uplift, inspire, and create a positive sense of connection through our shared humanity. Yoga teaches us about the space between reaction and response. We can all make the choice to respond with kindness, no matter how small the act may seem, in order to foster healthier relationships and a greater sense of peace in our lives.
Hannah's Weekly Schedule:
Tuesday 12pm Power Vinyasa
Wednesday 4:15pm Yoga Conditioning + Flow
Thursday 4:15pm Mobility + Maintenance
We look forward to Gathering with you very soon!
