I'm catching up my blog with my weekly updates. :) Bear with me please.

The best part of my job is connecting with others. I've been introduced to so many remarkable human beings through teaching yoga, and they inspire me to be a better teacher and a better person. Each month, I share with you someone I'm grateful to have met.

Please allow me to introduce Chester. I typically see him at my LA Fitness classes three times a week. He's very disciplined in showing up for himself because he fully understands the benefits of practicing yoga consistently.

Though retired now, he spent many years working hard in the corporate world, eventually making his way up to a VP position. He enjoyed his job, but it was also very stressful and led to a literal pain in the neck. He's noticed that the arthritis in his upper back, neck, and shoulders acts up if he doesn't regularly tend to it. So he joins us for yoga as often as possible in order to help stave off that chronic pain.

Besides yoga, Chester enjoys cycling. He often rides the typically peaceful gravel paths around his local park, but one time he ran into a bobcat. Yikes! Watch out for the wildlife out there, everyone!
