I have been practicing yoga since January of 2005 and completed the 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Certification through Samadhi Yoga Studio in June 2006. I am continually grateful for the opportunity to study with Anne and Matt Falkowski.

The the postures of my first yoga class were very loud, physically and energetically. With surprise I observed that yoga did not always take me to a quiet place; it was often a place of honest noise, for I gave years of internal dialogue the space to show itself. Within this space I continue to learn how to pause, listen, and voice what is heard.

The literal meaning of the word yoga is to yoke, or unite. This definition describes the personal, immediate power of bridging the energy and physical bodies within the parameters of asana practice, but speaks also of maintaining an enduring and compassionate connection to ourselves, the solid ground, and the people that surround us.
