I attended a fitness camp that offered morning yoga outdoors in the Midwest 40 years ago. On the third day, the instructor was called away for a family emergency. I approached her and told her that had been my favorite part of the camp, so she told me I should substitute for her.
I’d been introduced to yoga as a child and took some classes as well as practiced from one of the few books up to that point. I took notes on my brief meeting with her and organized my approach to covering her classes, and dove in the deep end. 40 years later, I’m still swimming in the vast ocean of hatha yoga, as a practitioner, a teacher, a trainer, and a co-director of this studio.
What deep ends have you dove into? Are you still swimming? Ki to Happiness celebrates 40 years of yoga instruction.
