What brought you to Liberty Life Yoga?

• I was looking for yoga that was close to me as a newbie yogi. I was intimidated by a studio setting and read great reviews about Liberty Life Yoga! :) 

What is it that you LOVE about practicing with Liberty Life Yoga?

What pose are you currently working with? Your favourite pose? Or a pose that you find challenging? Why?

• I am currently working on Sirsaana (Headstand). I'm working on the fear and strength!

Tell us a bit about your yoga journey...

• I was a gymnast as a kid, and as I got older the gym wasn't cutting it as as workout for me anymore. I found it boring and mindless. I wanted to try yoga to incorporate my love of body strength and increase my mental strength. I had done hot yoga, but I wanted to challenge myself to more traditional yoga. I was intimidated and quite weak when I started. Mira was my first teacher at LLY, and I found her teaching style really calm and patient (unlike traditional workout teacher I've had before). Then I committed to a regular practice and met Lindsay and Sarah... the energy of the classes are welcoming and I never felt intimidated anymore. I feel incredibly inspired by other yogis around me!

Words of Wisdom for Someone Thinking about trying Liberty Life Yoga...

• ​Everyone should try at least 3 classes! I thinking finding your preferred practice / style is important!
