What's your story?

During the beginning phases of my weight loss, I was introduced to the mindful practice of yoga and the sizzling DVD workout, Zumba®. Weighing in at a near 200lbs I pushed passed many mental obstacles to make it to the mat consistently and push play.

Following the tragic events of 9/11, I left the corporate world in NYC and took six months off to deepen my practice and understanding of yoga. Practicing yoga daily, sometimes twice per day became a new way of life, thinking and being. In addition, I used my Zumba® DVD 10 and 15 minutes at a time, as I conditioned myself.  Then, I found a live Zumba® class in my neighborhood and OMGosh my life was changed forever!  The weight was coming off!  Along the way I also developed a love of salsa dancing and my confidence grew.
 

In 2003, I completed my Hatha Yoga training in an Ashram in my hometown, Queens NY under the guidance of Mokshapriya Shakti and The Yoga Teachers Training Institute of Long Island. In addition, the Zumba® program was a part of my daily life AND I could complete the entire workout...as I attended classes twice per week and did my DVD.  AND, I reached a 50 lb weight loss.  In January 2005, I completed the Zumba® Basic Skills Workshop in Miami, FL and became a Zumba® instructor.
