During my travels in Costa Rica, I met the most amazing people, including the inspirational travel vixen, Lara the Barefoot Blogger. Her light and energy is so uplifting, and her courageousness is inspirational! I was just tickled when she asked to interview me as a part of her Wandering Yogis of the World series, and here’s the final product:

Where did your yoga journey begin?
The first time I took yoga was in a dance class that I was taking in high school. Then it was kind of on and off, interspersed with pilates.
