The day I finally rolled out my yoga mat three years ago, my life changed for the better.
Unlike the other times in my life I had given yoga a try, this time I became hooked for real. The timing was right and the circumstances were ideal. The Satya Yoga studio was utterly charming with bucolic views of surrounding mountains and greenery; our teacher, Rachelle, was a masterful yogi with an energy I quickly connected to, and I needed something to soothe my nervous system and calm my anxious mind.
Now that I practice yoga regularly three to four times a week, I honestly have no clue how I ever managed to function as a human being without it.
