Meet Kathy!
Kathy has been regular sunshine in morning classes for many years, practicing with Elysa, forging a lasting teacher student friendship as well as being a source of inspiration and joy to her fellow students. Plus, she makes the best fudge that ever melted in my mouth! Thank you Kathy, for lighting up every class you attend. Enjoy her insights on Yoga.
Q: How long have you been practicing Yoga?
A: I have been practicing yoga for 10 years. I started with Roberta Dale at Yoga Source in Darien. I was “hooked” after my first class. I feel very privileged to have begun my yoga practice in that environment. I was introduced to an amazing community of teachers and students that I continued to practice with, and learn from, after Roberta’s passing. Many of those people are still in my life today. Yoga Source was the birth place of a wonderful family.
Q: What fills your time off the mat?
A: My husband and I have a dental practice at our home in Norwalk. I am a part-time dental hygienist and office manager there. We have a very busy, daughter that fills most of the rest of my time. I love to practice yoga when ever I get the chance and I love to read.
Q: How has Yoga affected your life off the mat?
A: My yoga practice primarily taught me how to breathe, literally, and that has affected every aspect of my life. Yoga has helped me to become a more patient and accepting person, with myself as well as others. I hope it has made me less judgemental as well. I have learned true respect for my body’s abilities and its limitations. My body has become stronger and more flexible, and as a result, this is also true of my spiritual and emotional self too.
Q: What would you like to share with others about Yoga?
A: I would like to share the experience of Yoga with others. This experience is unique to each person. I believe, you get out of it what you give to it, and what you need from it. If you are honest with yourself, have respect for your body, and are open to change, your time spent on the mat, will be as precious as mine!
