It’s Okay to be Still: Allison McGuigan

“Ever since I was asked for this interview about how yoga played a role in my life, I’ve been pondering that question. I think yoga is evolutionary for me, in the sense that the role it plays is constantly changing. At this point in my life as a new mom, it’s playing a different role…

Reiki, Energy Healing and Angels. A Life of Pain Reveals her Life Purpose: Alison Pulito

From a really young age, I had a hip problem; a problem I didn’t know I had until I fell and was badly hurt while skiing.  I was 24 years old and it was only then that I found out I had congenital dysplasia, which means your hips are “open”, so they’re easily dislocated -they…

Step Out in Faith: Julie Hruska

“I originally came to my mat nearly fifteen years ago when I was struggling with anxiety attacks. I had two little kids and quit my full time job to stay at home with them. I was convinced I was having a nervous breakdown. I couldn’t eat or sleep and was losing tons of weight. I…

Be Your own Warrior of Knowledge, Expression and Self: Tai Dorn

“I started out as a dancer. I felt very fortunate because my whole life I always knew what I wanted to be. When I was young I would see ballet dancers on TV and it really spoke to me, so I dedicated my whole childhood; really my whole life to it. I found dance as…

Radiate Love From the Inside Out: LT

“I have this limiting belief that until I can sit cross-legged, I’m not a real yogi. I’ve convinced myself that because my hips are so tight, they’ll never open up. Recently in a class an instructor explained to me that, your hips and how tight they are correspond to not only how you treat others,…

Tap Into Your Power: Lo Myrick

“I wasn’t ever very comfortable in my own skin, so when I started yoga in college, I’d go in and compete with everyone because it was what I knew and what I was comfortable doing. I was stuck in a total athlete’s mindset. Michael Plasha was the first instructor who really got me excited about my…

We are all Connected: Carey Sims

“Even though I’m not a young person, I’m a fairly young teacher – I’ve only been teaching a few years. Right after I graduated from yoga teacher training, I received a phone call from a friend asking me to take over several chair yoga classes at a senior center. When I was called to do…
