leaving Sports Club

After much, much, much thought, I am leaving Sports Club.

I submitted my resignation letter Monday morning, effective Aug. 31. I hope to teach out the rest of the month, but may hear otherwise from the management. I'll keep you posted. I am leaving on good terms. It was a personal decision, made up of many factors.

I cannot express with words how deeply I will miss you, my students at Sports Club. Some of you were patient enough to bear with me through my first class--when I was too nervous to look up, much less venture off my mat.

As much as some of you have said I have taught you, you should know you have taught me so much more. The last 20 months of teaching have let me evolve and learn each day, and I thank you.

Thank you for your commitment to your practice, your openness to going inside yourselves, your support and enthusiasm, your willingness to breathe.

I will write more later, but for now, please know that I hope to keep in touch if you are willing. I will be expanding my schedule at North Main Yoga, starting in September. [I will be teaching my community yoga class Monday-Friday, from 4-5 ($5), and Saturdays and Sundays from 9-10:15 a.m.]

Namaste.

About Me

I owe my passion for yoga and its transformative nature to my teachers, namely Max Strom. I have been teaching since December, 2006. I teach an all-levels vinyasa flow class, which focuses on the breath as the key to change and healing. As my teacher, Max, says, we just add the poses to the breath. I have completed a 30-hour teacher training with Max in Kansas City and another 54-hour training with him in Greenville; a 230-hour, 9-month intensive with Max's students and owners of North Main Yoga studio, Brian and Liz Delaney; and a Yin Yoga teacher training with Shala Worsley from the Asheville Yoga Center. Most recently, I have begun studying Thai Yoga Massage privately with Asheville therapist Lia Pardy. In April, I will enroll in the Asheville School of Massage & Yoga to pursue my massage therapist license.
