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.

Carol is a dedicated yoga practitioner. She's been doing this a long time, and her sunny disposition is no doubt a product of her commitment to her practice. I've been honored to see her in my classes for at least two years now. She appreciates the opportunity to slow down and feel things out, which just happens to be the way I love to teach. Carol has a wonderful way of always finding the positive in any situation, and her approach to life is contagious.

She has an amazingly green thumb, and her thriving houseplants and gorgeous yard are proof. She spends a lot of time outside tending to her plants, lawn, and all the pretty twinkle lights scattered throughout her backyard. She's also a professional dog sitter with loyal clients for decades, and if I had a dog I'd trust its life with her! Carol takes good care of herself, flowers, animals and is still always in a sunny mood. We should all be like Carol! #goals
