My first class at Dhyana Yoga Arts was April 14, 2018. By the end of May, I was transformed. Transformed or transformative may get used casually these days, but I don’t mean it lightly. When I first came to the studio, I was in a depleted state following of a four-month transition to relocate our family across the country, including an extended period with myself and the children apart from my husband. I was also nine-month post-partum, after the birth of our third child. I was not feeling strong. I was drained emotionally, I was in poorer physical shape than usual, and my back ached.

I started coming four times a week for six weeks or so. By the end of that time I was in a totally different state. I was happier, I was calmer, and I had some serious bicep muscles!
