Interesting/unusual facts about me: As a gal in my teens and twenties, I played hard and traveled all over the country as well as lived in Israel. I realized that at 30 something, I needed to be something more that I was. I gained my education later in life which gave me the confidence I needed to become who I am today. With the support of my guru and my yoga practice, I have learned that NOTHING is unattainable in life, as it is truly what we make of it. Remembering that it does take hard work and perseverance, just like every 90 minutes spent in a Bikram yoga class!
