The Longest day - alzheimer's association
YOGA
How It All Started
At the end of February, 2017, I returned from 3 weeks of snowboarding in the Europe Alps unable to bend down and tie my shoes. I was beyond sore!
I needed a way to heal. I looked into Yoga.
I quickly fell in love and found myself practicing daily!
I loved it so much, I made it my second activity for my Longest Day fundraiser for The Alzheimer's Association!
In 2017, with the help of my friend, Anna who was a Yoga teacher, I traveled to a number of different cities hosting donation yoga classes.
Yoga Teacher Training
The opportunity came up for me to go into Yoga Teacher Training at a studio called The Sanctuary Yoga Room at home in Fort Worth. The training, led by our amazing teacher, Rebecca Butler, started in June 2017.
I initially went into Yoga Teacher Training not wanting to teach at all. It was a way for me to deepen my practice, study and understanding of Yoga. But, teaching was a requirement of Rebecca's throughout training. It was TEACHER training, after all. Pretty quickly, I found that I actually loved teaching.
In early December 2017, I completed The Dreamcatcher Yoga Teacher Training with 21 other incredible individuals. Now I am officially a 200 hour Yoga Alliance registered Yoga Teacher.
Yoga Teacher Training was physically demanding and mentally draining. Yet, also one of the most loving and fulfilling experiences of my life!!
I have since continued my education in Yoga studying under Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee and some of their students. I am also now a certified Level One Urban Zen Integrative Therapist. As well as a Level One Reiki practitioner. With plans to continue studying and expanding my knowledge of Yoga and other healing practices.
Yoga And The Alzheimer's Association - How You Can Help!
Spring 2017 when all the snow melted, I added Yoga as my second activity for The Longest Day.
With the help of my friend Anna, I was able to host a number of donation yoga classes as a part of my Longest Day.
After December 2017, I myself became a Yoga Teacher so I began teaching donation based classes along my travels for my Longest Day.
For 2019, since I am unable to travel as extensively, Yoga has become my primary activity for the Longest Day. Follow me on Facebook and Instagram for updates on fundraising events and donation classes.
If you cannot make it to one of my events or classes, you can still support Yoga teaching as my Longest Day activity by making a donation on my Longest Day page HERE
100% of all donations go directly to the Alzheimer's Association.
See all of you on the road!!
