Inspiration comes to us in many ways.

What inspired you to try Yoga? We all have a story. Mine was one of being at the end of the rope. I suffered from chronic pain in my back and hip from a motorcycle accident when I was a teenager. I was using anti-inflamatories daily just to get out of bed and make it through a 12 hour shift in the unit. ( I am also an RN) The day came when I finally got an ulcer from the medications. I stopped taking them and started taking Yoga classes at the local gym. One of my teachers there was Ruth van der Voort. Ruth was an inspiration to me. I eventually took her Yoga Teacher Training and became certified at the 200 hour level. Now, I give back to Ruth by managing the nurses at the Toronto Yoga Show and Conference which is founded and directed by Ruth. I later went on to complete my extended training with Susie Dias which earned me my 500 hour status. I am internationally certifed with Yoga Alliance and nationally with Yoga Network of Canada.
