About Me

Hi everyone, I'll just write a little bit about why I'm here, who I am, and how I became a yoga teacher.

When I was young, I was never involved in a sport because of my weight and self esteem issues. Whenever sport classes came along, I used to pretend I was ill so I didn't have to be embarrassed in front of all the other class mates. (I'm sure many of you did the same from time to time.) Fortunately, my friend introduced me to yoga, and ever since I have been practicing yoga as much as possible. So much in fact that I became a specialized yoga teacher. I wanted to spread the word of this wonderful practice to other people in the community where this relaxing and spiritual practice may not be known. By the way, my health is now much better than when I was younger and I look forward to doing yoga every day.

As this site is about spreading ideas I believed it was a great opportunity for me to tell others about yoga and how it can transform your life for the better. I am also very interested in what others have to say about yoga and any other health practices there are that relate to this.

  • A comment on Conversation: Is Abortion good or bad???

    Feb 27 2012: Abortion isn't good no, but the use of it depends on the person, the circumstance, the religion etc. Having to take away a potential life is never good but there are understandings for certain circumstances underlying the issue of the mother.

  • A comment on Conversation: What are the causes of being shy?

    Feb 27 2012: I'm actually a shy person and I don't think there's anything wrong with being shy! There's millions of different personalities. There's actually a degree of shyness. You can't be perfectly only shy or perfectly extroverted and nothing else. Shy people have talents, personalities etc. and they may not be shy around certain people. It may just depend on the crowd they're with.

    A comment on Conversation: Why do you use your voice in TED conversations?

    Feb 27 2012: I use my voice so I can share ideas with others and to also learn about others. It's always interesting to hear what other minds think. Every one is different, yet it's amazing how many people can share the same opinion. It makes you feel more connected to the world as well. I'm mainly hear to talk about yoga and how amazing it is, but I am also really interested in other opinions about anything really.
