I first got into yoga for the exercise. It took several months of practice before I realized that there was something else going on. Yoga confers spiritual benefits! Who knew? It turns out many, many people did, and for thousands of years. Yoga is a great way to not only find inner calm, but to experience inner awesome. Today I practice for mindfulness, stress-relief, for exercise, and just for fun. I’ve been at it for almost 20 years. I love the philosophy of yoga, and the opportunity the practice affords for self-care. I assist the Yoga Teacher Training at UVM, where I also teach a noontime yoga class. Off the mat, I am a writer (cjanetaylor.com) and motorcycle enthusiast. I live in Hinesburg with my husband John McConnell who is also a yoga teacher and our dog Dewey who is also a yoga teacher.
