    My yoga journey has no end date. Although I am not currently teaching any classes, I began teaching yoga part-time in 2009 and continue to do YogaFit instructor trainings as time and location allows, focusing my interest in Trauma Sensitive yoga. As I move around internationally, it has proven difficult to teach yoga on the local economy in the different countries we've lived in over the past ten years either due to language barriers or legal employment obstacles. As we transition back to the U.S. in summer 2020, I hope to get back into a few studios to teach a few classes as time allows.
