I love <a href=\"http:\/\/vitaminshoppe.com\">The Vitamin Shoppe<\/a> and find myself in-store a healthy number of times per week. I started doing yoga because my heart was broken\u2014I continued because it gave me tools to manage my anxiety and insomnia, which totally changed my life. The full story is, my boyfriend at the time dumped me, and shortly thereafter, I got laid off when my company was acquired by a much-larger one. Talk about a personal-professional double-whammy! I felt rejected in both spheres of my life and plummeted into depression\u2014and the fact that it was a dark, dreary, freezing cold winter in Boston probably didn\u2019t help. The post-practice peacefulness I felt after yoga helped me through that. I then stayed with my practice for next 17 years because of the ways yoga changed my life. It helps me feel calm, grounded, and centered, which is literally life-changing for a chronically anxious person like me!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My focus now as a teacher is to share the same tools that helped me. I lead a slow, mindful, therapeutic-oriented practice, and I set a tone that is warm, welcoming, and accepting of ALL, regardless of age, ability, or experience. I have people in their 70s and 80s in my classes and I also have super-flexible professional dancers. Often, I have people who tell me they hate yoga but somehow like what I teach. But they\u2019re all there because something resonates with them in some way.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BbagzZDgfxR\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;

I\u2019m here to give myself and others the tools to slow down, connect, and heal anxiety, insomnia, and the terrible sense of being chronically overbooked and undernourished when it comes to time, energy, and resources. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Tell us a little about your book, <\/b><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/160wKcq\"><span class=\"s3\"><b><i>Where in the OM Am I?<\/i><\/b><\/span><span class=\"s4\"><b>\u202f<\/b><\/span><span class=\"s2\"><b><i>One Woman\u2019s Journey from the Corporate World to the Yoga Mat<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a><\/span><span class=\"s3\"><b>.

It\u2019s for people feeling stuck, who have a gnawing sense of deep-down dissatisfaction<\/span><span class=\"s1\">,<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> or a gentle yearning for more. It\u2019s also for people who just need a good laugh. One of my favorite reviews said it\u2019s \u201c<i>The Devil Wears Prada <\/i>meets <i>Eat, Pray, Love\u2026.\u201d <\/i>And, I would add, \u201cwith some humor from <i>The Office<\/i> thrown in on the side.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">All kidding aside, the book is<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> about finding what you <i>want <\/i>to do in life, as told through my transition from working in financial services to teaching yoga, and all of the super-crazy \u201ccharacters\u201d in both worlds. It also addresses how women can be so mean to other women both in the workplace AND in the yoga world (and let me tell you\u2014the yoga mean girls really caught me off guard!).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Overall, <\/span><span class=\"s3\">I wanted readers to know that they\u2019re not alone, that this is their one glorious life and they deserve to pursue what would make them extraordinarily happy.

I continue in this role today. As an ambassador, I provide free health and wellness events to the Boston community, which is super-important to me. I fully believe in Athleta\u2019s mission to support and empower ALL women\u2014of all ages, sizes, abilities, and backgrounds. Athleta also provides <a href=\"http:\/\/athleta.gap.com\/browse\/info.do?cid=1074427&amp;mlink=1074539,13832781,Values_Sustainability&amp;clink=13832781\"><span class=\"s2\">educational opportunities<\/span><\/a> to the women who manufacture and sew their clothes, and that is equally important to me.<\/span><span class=\"s1\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>You recently spoke at the <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/wellsummit.org\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>WELL Summit<\/b><\/span><\/a><b>, an event series aimed toward self-improvement. As a keynote speaker, what did that mean to you\u2014and what did your speech revolve around? <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Even though I do it all the time, I\u2019m actually a very nervous public speaker, so to get up in front of 500 people and share an intimate story is vulnerable and scary for me, but it\u2019s also deeply meaningful. I passionately believe in the power of storytelling\u2014in each person\u2019s ability to positively impact someone else\u2019s life. It\u2019s the same foundational belief I have about writing a book\u2014if you have a story and are called to share it, you probably should. Because if you can open someone else\u2019s eyes, heart, and mind, you can change their life&#8211;and that is one of the best and most powerful things we can do in our lifetime.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">My speech was about creating and embracing your best life. I focused on how my mother\u2019s terminal breast cancer diagnosis made me committed to living each day fully, to dreaming big dreams and pursuing them with unyielding focus and unrelenting dedication, because to do so is to honor the gift that we have each been given and that is the gift of another day. That commitment is part of what motivated me to leave my \u201csafe\u201d career in financial services and risk going after my dream to be an author.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>You do a lot of free events and workshops.

I was the first in my family to go to college and I worked my way through. I\u2019m so grateful to have had that opportunity and for all the opportunities that came about as a result of it. So now I\u2019m committed to doing what I can to give back.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Yoga, health, and wellness can get pretty pricey, which can squeeze out a lot of people. So as an Athleta ambassador (and in other volunteer\/donation capacities), I provide complimentary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/10\/adventurous-yoga\/\">yoga,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/12\/07\/easy-ways-meditate\/\">meditation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/24\/mindful-eating\/\">mindful eating,<\/a> and other health and wellness events and classes to the community, in an effort to make these accessible to ALL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019m really excited because I just completed my fourth year of teaching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonmagazine.com\/health\/2017\/04\/25\/esplanade-free-fitness-2017\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Yoga on the Charles for the Esplanade Association,<\/span><\/a> a non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining green spaces in Boston, where they then host free health and fitness classes for the community.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\u2019s one of my favorite things to do. We gather between 300 to 600 people each week, and it\u2019s so wonderful to be outside, breathe fresh air, and do yoga together as the sun sets over the Charles River. The sunsets are spectacular and the classes, while always wonderful, are also always unique. One time the mounted police rode two horses past the class and we all kind of paused to laugh (and take photos)!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">But whether I get 600 people, or 16 at a more-intimate event, what really matters to me is seeing that spark of awareness click on. That \u201cOhhhh\u2026Yes! This feels good! I can do this!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Speaking of horses, you recently talked to <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elitedaily.com\/p\/what-is-horse-yoga-its-exactly-what-it-sounds-like-people-just-arent-having-it-2980569\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>Elite Daily<\/b><\/span><\/a><b> about a new trend called HORSE YOGA (we didn\u2019t know that was a thing). We actually published an article on eight <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/10\/adventurous-yoga\/\"><span class=\"s2\"><b>adventurous yoga<\/b><\/span><\/a><b> styles, but this is a new one. You must give us the scoop.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">That was so fun. I love Elite Daily and the writer who interviewed me is hilarious. But when it comes to horse yoga, my take is this: I love horses and I love yoga. I also love spaghetti and ice cream, but I do not love these things smooshed together.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">I\u2019m a yoga traditionalist. My focus is on getting people out of pain and in that state of profound stillness, where they can connect to the deepest parts of themselves. In that stillness and connection, they can calm, ground, restore their energy, and rejuvenate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Again, I don\u2019t teach, preach, or practice any of the \u201ccool stuff\u201d you may see on Instagram, like horse yoga or balancing on one pinky over a ravine. I don\u2019t need it. I\u2019m here to relax, rest, and recharge (and to share those tools with others).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>What are your top three tips for living a well-balanced life, especially for the busy folks out there?<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BZzmHyZgd08\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"13\" style=\" background:#FFF;
