About Common Yogi
Yoga will meet you where you are today, wherever that may be.
When I attended my first yoga class in 2003, I was not particularly flexible or strong. I had my fair share of stress-related kinks and cracks. But that yoga class – and all the others since then – met me where I was that day. I was focused, challenged, and sometimes frustrated, but finished yoga class with a fantastic feeling of strength combined with a calm that I had never experienced with any other kind of physical workout or activity.
I had the benefit of practicing for many years with my fantastic yoga teacher, Meg Galarza, at YogaOne Studio, where my practice began and grew. She affords her students so many opportunities, and I've been able to practice and workshop with a wide range of yogis: John Friend (Anusara yoga), Dearbhla Kelly (Forrest yoga), Doug Swenson (Ashtanga yoga), Sundara Duplan (Forrest yoga), Rolf Gates, Chad Satlow (Anusara yoga), David Keil (Ashtanga, YogAnatomy), Baron Baptiste-certified instructors, Meg Galarza's Shiva Rea-inspired practices, and so many of YogaOne's knowledgeable and talented teachers and students. I earned my RYT through YogaFit in 2010. CPR AED Certified.
Today, my practice is equally as challenging as that first vinyasa class, but even more rewarding. I hope the same experience awaits you. I wish you the best in your yoga journey.
Namasté.
