She/her

When did you start your yoga journey?
I had tried yoga once many years ago and did not enjoy it at all. Fast forward to 2014; my daughter introduced me to the Hot Yoga Richmond Studio.  First time at the studio, I ignored the golden rule and walked out of the room mid-class. Fortunately, the instructor brought me back in, and I have practiced ever since.
Practicing with Tracy has introduced me to a whole new world of yoga!

What do you enjoy the most about your practice?
Learning and benefiting from new ways to be present, to move/strengthen my body, and to be part of this community.

What’s your favorite thing about 108 Yoga?
The friends I have made, the insights I have gained, and the support I have received. 

What do you like to do when you’re not at yoga?
Spend time with friends & family, read, cycle, travel, and volunteer. 

Whats your walkout song?
Everything's Coming Our Way - by Santana

One word to describe you?
Driven

What is your favorite class? And why?
108, I can't explain why it is my favorite, but I feel a sense of accomplishment, strength, and focus every time.

What’s something most people don’t know about you?
My Japanese heritage (& no, I don't speak the language, although I wish I did).
