It was during my final year at Queen's University, amidst the chaos of finishing my undergraduate degrees in Life Science and Physical Education that I first walked through the doors of Feel Hot Yoga and into what was to become one of my favourite places in the world to be, the hot room. Bikram Yoga had just opened a couple blocks from where I was living, my housemate Laura suggested we try it, I was in. I had no idea what to expect but convincing me to partake in any sort of physical activity was easy. I have always loved the feeling of moving my body, playing heaps of sports and studying the human body and exercise science at university. My first 90 minutes in the hot room blew me away. I immediately sensed something greater than just some stretching and cardiovascular exercise at work in that room. I would later find out that indeed there was. What I did in that 40 degree Celsius room was an intelligently designed sequence of 26 yoga postures and 2 breathing exercises each done twice. Cleansing and strengthening every single cell of my body from bones to skin, flushing my glands and organs, stimulating the nervous and circulatory systems all packed into 90 minutes of moving meditation. It was one of the most challenging things I had ever done, and it was amazing.

I would return many times after this. I entered class with chaos in my being and with a heavy heart and would leave with clarity and mental peace, recharged. Nothing compared to this. I wanted more. I went to Hawaii to the Bikram Yoga Teacher Training. Not to learn to teach but to be immersed in the yoga for 9 weeks. It was grueling, challenging physically, mentally and emotionally, and one of the most amazing things I have ever done for myself. There was no defining moment, but at some time during those 9 weeks I knew that I would teach this yoga. I had no choice, keeping its benefits to myself was not nearly as inspiring as the possibility of sharing them with others.

And that is what I love to do. To see people surprise themselves with how strong they are, to find things within themselves they never even knew they had!
