Contents


As a teen in the mid-eighties , I took my first yoga class before sticky mats existed. I read the Tao Te Ching, volunteered with environmental organizations, and spent my summers immersed in nature, community, and marching on Washington for animal rights and the environment.

I became a yoga teacher at age twenty-seven, after eleven years of strictly asana practice. I knew that there was much more to yoga than just physical postures. Though I felt too young and unqualified to be a yoga teacher, my teacher, Cyndi Lee, had just started training teachers and welcomed me once Id gathered the courage to apply to her training.

That first training satisfied my craving to understand even just a fraction of the infinite mystery of yoga. And through Cyndis belief in me, I felt brave enough to become a teacher.

After the training, I started hanging out with other yogis who shared similar values. They too preferred to live in rhythm with nature, to be aware in their bodies, and to be mindful about how their choices affected the earth. As we practiced more and more yoga, our sensitivity to everything in the world around us increased: to our relationships with our loved ones, to food, to strangers, and to how we chose to spend our money.

Back then, a career as a yoga teacher was unheard-of. Until the mid-nineties, many people thought of yoga teachers as super-far-out whack-a-doodles who led classes in their darkened living rooms on thick red shag carpets, with incense and candles burning. People my age were supposed to join the real world of nine-to-five work and responsibility. I tried and failed to get with this program. I wanted more time for reflection and study, more flexibility (pardon the pun) with my schedule, and the companionship of others who shared my ideals. And I also very much wanted to help others feel and be their best selves.
